a song to keep you company for the ride

theres something wrong with a goodbye

in the middle of the day
G#/D# C# D# D#sus D#
so pretend I am still sitting at your side

on the day they let you out
G#/D# C# D# D#sus D#
for the thousand ways they ask if you're okay
G#/D# Fm
because whatever answer that you give
D# C#
it’s only gonna play into their doubts
G#/D# C# D# D#sus D#
and be just half of what’s behind each word you say
C# Fm
so if you finally roped that heartbreak song

G#/D# Fm
when what is wrong and what is right
D# C#
seem more like just the ocean and the ship
G#/D# C# D# D#sus D#
and the straight line that you've followed here is gone
C# Fm
and if that same old fox comes and sweeps you up
D# D#sus
each time you spread your wings
C# Fm D#
I could at least love you through each stumble, shift and sway
