A
I put your record on
Bm
I sing the song you wrote
F#m
And you're a world away
E
But I feel closer to home
A
I know I left behind
Bm
Things I've loved before
F#m
But I give you my heart
E
Dearest Eleanor
A F#m
Eleanor, remember when you used to drive me home?
E
After I played you the first song I wrote
A
You said you thought it had potential
A F#m
Eleanor, remember when we used to sit alone?

We wouldn't speak over the stereo
A
Because we knew we didn't have to
A Bm F#m E
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
A Bm F#m E
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go

Bm
I sing the song you wrote
F#m
And you're a world away
E
But I feel closer to home
A
I know I left behind

Things I've loved before
F#m
But I give you my heart
E
Dearest Eleanor
A
A F#m
Eleanor, remember when we used to hate the kids
E
Who didn't understand our politics?

A F#m
Eleanor, we were all so full of suffering
E
We had a catalog of songs to sing
A
That would help us to forget
A Bm F#m E
