I put your record on
D#m
I sing the song you wrote
A#m
And you're a world away
G#
But I feel closer to home
C#
I know I left behind
D#m
Things I've loved before
A#m
But I give you my heart
G#
Dearest Eleanor
C# A#m
Eleanor, remember when you used to drive me home?
G#
After I played you the first song I wrote
C#
You said you thought it had potential
C# A#m
Eleanor, remember when we used to sit alone?
G#
We wouldn't speak over the stereo
C#
Because we knew we didn't have to
C# D#m A#m G#
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
C# D#m A#m G#
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
C#
I put your record on
D#m
I sing the song you wrote
A#m
And you're a world away
G#
But I feel closer to home
C#
I know I left behind

Things I've loved before

Dearest Eleanor

C# A#m
Eleanor, remember when we used to hate the kids
G#
Who didn't understand our politics?
C#
We didn't care, we were self-righteous
C# A#m
Eleanor, we were all so full of suffering
G#
We had a catalog of songs to sing
C#
That would help us to forget
C# D#m A#m G#
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
C# D#m A#m G#
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
