Verse
B
Thank you for drinking my drinks
B
Each one like a footprint traced in felt-tip ink
E
Where we're dancing cheek-to-cheek
E
If you were taller
B
I've been sewing together our clothes
B
I matched up the hemlines on my cuffs and yours
E
And I've threaded carpet floss
E
And spent my dollars
[Chorus]
F#7
On these quiet nights with you
F#7 E
So that our bodies would move to country tunes
E F#7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
F#7 E
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
E
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
B E
[Verse 2]
B
I think we're both still good to drive
B
I toss you the keys and say "I trust you with
E
My life."
B
Round lights on the road like a scene
B
From the end or beginning of things that appear
E
On the cinema screens
[Chorus 2]
F#7
On these quiet nights with you
F#7 E
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
E F#7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
F#7 E
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
E
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
B E
[Bridge]
F#7
But when I'm drunk I become merry
E F#7 E
And strange torsos and legs I will not carry
F#7
But for this now I know you are certain
E F#7 E
When our jackets for each other we're removing
F#7
Like a broken jack-in-box
E
You and me can tremble but not talk
[Instrumental]
B E
[Chorus 3]
F#7
On these quiet nights with you
F#7 E
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
E F#7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
F#7 E
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
E B
They tell my hands where to move
