Intro 1
(D major) (C major) (G major) (Dsus4) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A minor) (E minor) (D major)
Verse 1
You could (D major) go for (C major) hours,
(G major) (G minor) months, and (D major) days
In that half- (C major) hearted,
pinched (E minor) kind of (D major) way
And you don't get (C major) too often (G major) to
the bruise- col (D major) oured lake (D minor)
(D major) To stand, (A minor) hands in your
(E minor) pockets
Verse 2
(A minor)
Sometimes you (F major) don't see (D major)
nothing (G major) much there (A minor)
Sunken old (F major) moorings,
(D minor) (D major) rusted- out (G major) stairs
And (A minor) white (F major) sailboat
(D minor) (D major) s against (G major) the sky
(A minor) Not really (F major) knowing what
(D minor) you came (D major) (G major) there to find
Verse 3
(D major)
Not (C major) the building's (G major) concrete spines (D major)
Not the (A minor) bitterness you (G major) always can divine (D major)
And pull from your (A minor) heart like
(G major) so much twine (D major)
(D minor) Raveling, (D major) unrav (A minor) eling,
(E minor) raveling fine
(G major) (E minor)
Verse 4
(A minor)
You got pretty (F major) lost there (D major)
in your own mind (G major)
(A minor) Pathways to (F major) hallways to
(D major) doorways (G major) blind (A minor)
All through the win (F major) ter I could
(Dsus4) only stand (G major) by
(A minor) Watching you (F major) wake to the
(D major) hardest (D minor) (G major) kind of (A minor) trouble
With no (F major) guiding (D major) (D minor) line
I (D major) stood beside
Verse 5
(C major) you, (G major) thin as a (D major) kite
Wincing in (C major) the wind's (G major) cool (A minor) bite (D major)
Telling me you'll (A minor) never (C major) get
(G major) nothing right (D major)
Laughing as you (A minor) said it, (D major)
in the (G major) low sunlight (D major)
So brief in Novem (C major) ber, and (E minor) impossibly bright
