I put your record on
Em
I sing the song you wrote
Bm
And you're a world away
A
But I feel closer to home
D
I know I left behind
Em
Things I've loved before
Bm
But I give you my heart
A
Dearest Eleanor
D Bm
Eleanor, remember when you used to drive me home?
A
After I played you the first song I wrote
D
You said you thought it had potential
D Bm
Eleanor, remember when we used to sit alone?
A
We wouldn't speak over the stereo
D
Because we knew we didn't have to
D Em Bm A
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
D Em Bm A
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
D
I put your record on
Em
I sing the song you wrote
Bm
And you're a world away
A
But I feel closer to home
D
I know I left behind
Em
Things I've loved before
Bm
But I give you my heart
A
Dearest Eleanor
D
D Bm
Eleanor, remember when we used to hate the kids
A
Who didn't understand our politics?
D
We didn't care, we were self-righteous
D Bm
Eleanor, we were all so full of suffering
A
We had a catalog of songs to sing
D
That would help us to forget
D Em Bm A
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
D Em Bm A
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
D
I put your record on
Em
I sing the song you wrote

And you're a world away
A
But I feel closer to home

Dearest Eleanor
