Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(E minor) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
Where the (G major) earth
shows its bones of wind-broken stone
stone
And the sea (D major) and the sky are one
I'm (A minor) caught out of time,
(C major) my blood sings with wine
And I'm (D major) running naked
in the sun (C major)
There's (G major) God in the trees,
I'm weak (C major) in the knees
(G major) And the sky (D major) is a painful blue
I'd (A minor) like to look around, (C major) but Honey,
all I (D major) see is (G major) you.
(C major) (G major) (D major)

Verse 2
The sum (G major) mer city lights will soften (C major) the (G major) night
Til you'd (D major) think that the air is clear
And I'm (A minor) sit ting with friends,
(C major) where forty-five cents
cents
Will buy (D major) another glass of beer (C major)
He's got (G major) something to say,
but I'm so (C major) far (G major) away
That I (D major) don't know who
I'm talking to
'Cause you just (A minor) walked in the door,
(G major) and (C major) Honey, all I (D major) see is you
(G major) (C major)
Verse 3
(G major)
[Chorus]
And I (C major) just want to hold you closer than
I've ever (G major) held any (C major) one before (G major)
You say you've (C major) been twice a wife
and you're (G major) through with life
Ah, but Hon (A minor) ey, what the hell's (D major) it for?
After (C major) twenty-three years years
you'd think I could find
A way (G major) to let you (C major) know somehow
(G major) That I (A minor) want to see your smiling (C major) face (D major) forty-five
years years from (G major) now.

Verse 4
So alone (G major) in the lights on stage every night
I've been (D major) reaching out to find a friend
Who (A minor) knows all the words,
(G major) sings (C major) so she's heard
And (D major) knows how all the stories end (C major)
Maybe (G major) after the show
she'll ask (C major) me to (G major) go
Home (D major) with her for a drink or two
Now her smile (A minor) lights her eye (G major) s,
but (C major) Honey, all I (D major) see is you
(G major) [Chorus: x2] (C major)
