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