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

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

I sing the song you wrote

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

I know I left behind
