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

G# Fm
Eleanor, remember when we used to hate the kids
D#
Who didn't understand our politics?
G#
We didn't care, we were self-righteous
G# Fm
Eleanor, we were all so full of suffering
D#
We had a catalog of songs to sing
G#
That would help us to forget
G# A#m Fm D#
Eleanor, I know it's been a long time
G# A#m Fm D#
Since we were young and full of longing
But I never let you go
G#
I put your record on
A#m
I sing the song you wrote
Fm
And you're a world away
D#
But I feel closer to home
G#
I know I left behind
A#m
Things I've loved before

But I give you my heart

Dearest Eleanor
