Verse
A#
Thank you for drinking my drinks
A#
Each one like a footprint traced in felt-tip ink
D#
Where we're dancing cheek-to-cheek
D#
If you were taller
A#
I've been sewing together our clothes
A#
I matched up the hemlines on my cuffs and yours
D#
And I've threaded carpet floss
D#
And spent my dollars
[Chorus]
F7
On these quiet nights with you
F7 D#
So that our bodies would move to country tunes
D# F7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
F7 D#
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
D#
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
A# D#
[Verse 2]
A#
I think we're both still good to drive
A#
I toss you the keys and say "I trust you with
D#
My life."
A#
Round lights on the road like a scene
A#
From the end or beginning of things that appear
D#
On the cinema screens
[Chorus 2]
F7
On these quiet nights with you
F7 D#
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
D# F7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
F7 D#
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
D#
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
A# D#
[Bridge]
F7
But when I'm drunk I become merry
D# F7 D#
And strange torsos and legs I will not carry
F7
But for this now I know you are certain
D# F7 D#
When our jackets for each other we're removing
F7
Like a broken jack-in-box
D#
You and me can tremble but not talk
[Instrumental]
A# D#
[Chorus 3]
F7
On these quiet nights with you
F7 D#
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
D# F7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
F7 D#
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
D# A#
They tell my hands where to move
