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