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]
D7
On these quiet nights with you
D7 C
So that our bodies would move to country tunes
C D7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
D7 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]
D7
On these quiet nights with you
D7 C
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
C D7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
D7 C
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
C
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
G C
[Bridge]
D7
But when I'm drunk I become merry
C D7 C
And strange torsos and legs I will not carry
D7
But for this now I know you are certain
C D7 C
When our jackets for each other we're removing
D7
Like a broken jack-in-box
C
You and me can tremble but not talk
[Instrumental]
G C
[Chorus 3]
D7
On these quiet nights with you
D7 C
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
C D7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
D7 C
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
C G
They tell my hands where to move
