Verse 1

D D 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Don't look back until you realise you're pointedly    not trying to look back
A A 
 
Then reconsider trying for a clearer mind,
try for a grace of some kind
G G 
 
Leave your house and walk in
A A 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
the autumn light
A A 
 
Imagine a river, massive and galloping
G G 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
beneath your feet
A A 
 
Or you can call yourself Renee again and you
G G 
 
can move back to Rapid City
A A 
 

Verse 2
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
You live in a hotel, you wait for a phone call,
G G 
 
you wait for an email
Asus4 Asus4 
 
You look out the window at a tree,
A A 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
weighted down with snow
G G 
 
A A 
 
You worry about your mother,
G G 
 
you watch a couple movies, you take an Ativan
A A 
 
You walk down a Rapid City
G G 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
street alone
G G 
 
A A 
 
And at night there's a pink cast underneath
G G 
 
the blank grey cloud head
Well it's something pretty to
A A 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
look at in the sky
G G 
 
A A 
 
And I don't know why so- and- so's taking much time
G G 
 
A A 
 
Em Em 
 
to breathe something new into my life
And there's a tip- tap on the window that
A A 
 
could be Fate's pale face looking in
Em Em 
 
En  ergy could be in the trembling hands of a tree,
or it could be lighter
A A 
 
Could be nothing at all
D D 
 
Out in the night

Verse 3
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Bm Bm 
 
The world was right against our skin
A A 
 
And it was right again
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Out in the night
Bm Bm 
 
The world was right against our skin
A A 
 
And it was right,

Verse 4
A A 
 
Mysteriously absent for the afternoon and sud
D D 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
denly missing for a full month
A A 
 
His mother called up, called around the corner,
called out shivering from a dream
G G 
 
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
Called his father five states to the south,
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
said he was gone
G G 
 
A A 
 
When he could have easily been seen
in a Vero Beach Dillard's
G G 
 
Weaving in and out of the racks
A A 
 
G G 
 
of beautiful blue men's shirts
A A 
 
Or in South Florida, breezing through the drive- through,
Bm Bm 
 
easy like a song on the stereo
G G 
 
A A 
 
Letting it all slide like
G G 
 
an easy- going god
A A 
 
Or he could have not existed,
just a vision of his mother
G G 
 
When she wished it so hard into
A A 
 
Em Em 
 
something she could almost see
G G 
 
A A 
 
Or he could have been a feeling in the air,
or the guy who cuts your hair
Em Em 
 
He could have been anyone,
A A 
 
he could even have been me
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
And me, I  don't care

Verse 5
Em Em 
 
if  I come
back as a single wave
Or an oriole on a spell branch
A A 
 
on a tree
Em Em 
 
Cause I'm not scared to die
as long as I know
that the universe has something
A A 
 
really to do with me

Verse 6
G G 
 
Out in the night
Bm Bm 
 
The air was right against our skin
A A 
 
And it was right
G G 
 
Out in the night
Bm Bm 
 
The air was right against our skin
A A 
 
And it was right, baby

Verse 7

I wanna make it nice again

I wanna make it alright

I wanna make it nice again

I wanna make it alright

Verse 8
G G 
 
Out in the night
Bm Bm 
 
The world was right against our skin
A A 
 
And it was alright, child
G G 
 
Out in the night
Bm Bm 
 
The world was right against our skin
A A 
 
And it was alright, baby

Verse 9
G G 
 
I wanna make it nice again
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
I wanna make it
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
alright
