Verse
C
Thank you for drinking my drinks
C
Each one like a footprint traced in felt-tip ink
F
Where we're dancing cheek-to-cheek
F
If you were taller
C
I've been sewing together our clothes
C
I matched up the hemlines on my cuffs and yours
F
And I've threaded carpet floss
F
And spent my dollars
[Chorus]
G7
On these quiet nights with you
G7 F
So that our bodies would move to country tunes
F G7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
G7 F
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
F
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
C F
[Verse 2]
C
I think we're both still good to drive
C
I toss you the keys and say "I trust you with
F
My life."
C
Round lights on the road like a scene
C
From the end or beginning of things that appear
F
On the cinema screens
[Chorus 2]
G7
On these quiet nights with you
G7 F
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
F G7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
G7 F
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
F
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
C F
[Bridge]
G7
But when I'm drunk I become merry
F G7 F
And strange torsos and legs I will not carry
G7
But for this now I know you are certain
F G7 F
When our jackets for each other we're removing
G7
Like a broken jack-in-box
F
You and me can tremble but not talk
[Instrumental]
C F
[Chorus 3]
G7
On these quiet nights with you
G7 F
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
F G7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
G7 F
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
F C
They tell my hands where to move
