Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) When
she saw the end plates
I started to (Baug) panic
While performing for (C major) passengers
Clamoring for the (D major) static
Riveting but not (E minor) riveted
And harder to pin down (Baug)
(E minor) Than her mother's half (A minor) -baked recipe
For a night on (D major) the town
Bleeding (G major) smaller
Than early (F major) autumn leaves (C major) deafene
(B major) (Baug) d by (B major) the forest,
and (E minor) sickened by the (Baug) trees
of (C major) your insip (D major) id inspiration (G major)
in (C major) famous ver (D major) b -cursive rebounds (G major)
insidi (C major) ous and (D major) ob vious, (G major) un glamorous
(E minor) God, it's (C major) great to have (D major) you back in town (G major)
I hear you say that the
heat was un (Baug) bearable
Guess (E flat major) (Baug) I should've (C major) no ticed
You're more than just
a little uncomfort (D major) able
But I never said I (E minor) love you
Or even that I (Baug) missed you
I never once (A minor) said I just wanted to kiss (D major) you
Love in ac (G major) tion, lacking (F major) in de (C major) tail
Po (B major) etic in its remission,
(E minor) forever for (Baug) sale
(C major) To the ab (D major) solute beginner (G major)
Well (C major) ain't tomorrow (D major) from the past
(G major) Was (C major) this your (D major) very,
very first (G major) time, my dear?
Cause (E minor) I'm afraid (A minor)
It'll (D major) be the (G major) last
Did she dream the accident
Or was it really real (Baug)
The shattering glass (C major)
And the grinding of (D major) steel
Caught in the head (E minor) lights
Hiding (Baug) behind the absurd
Grew the happi (A minor) ness
and the laughter of the (D major) word
But the hum was (G major) thicker
than (F major) lovers in re (C major) treat
An (B major) d the cries were wider
than the (E minor) passing of disease (Baug)
There's (C major) still echoes (D major) in the (G major) canyon
Trick (C major) ling out (D major) over the pas (G major) t
Through (C major) the poorest (D major) explana (G major) tion
Except (E minor) this one (C major) was (D major) meant to last (G major)
The cap to the potion
had no longer (Baug) sealed
Swimming in the (C major) shadows,
would her pain be (D major) re vealed?
Still (Baug) the warmth was (E minor) soothing,
harder to (Baug) deny
Just like the (A minor) glaciers that
freeze every
The emotion and tear that (D major) you cried
Burning (G major) closer
Than the (F major) flowers in full (C major) bloom
The (B major) sadness of knowing
what's in store (E minor) for you too soon (Baug)
(C major) In the (D major) softest of situ (G major) ations
(C major) The hardest (D major) weakness to con (G major) ceal
The (C major) most pleasur (D major) able indecision
(G major) (E minor) Lack (C major) of anything left (D major) to (G major) feel
Love made by fire or frozen from re (E flat major) gret
Every particle (Baug) of (C major) hope and faith
fused motionless from neg (D major) lect
Hard -won battles for forgive (E minor) ness
with their knowledge of defeat (Baug) and war
Love ripples away (C major) in fading circles
from your cast -off from (D major) the shore
But the pain was (G major) brighter
When the shackles (F major) of summer (C major) 's past
The (B major) surrender was more (Baug) sus picious
than (E minor) convincing
Or relaxed
To (C major) be (D major) continued later (G major)
(C major) To be fin (D major) ished at (G major) any cost
(C major) What you want, (D major) and all you aban (G major) don
In (E minor) the end, (C major) was ex (D major) actly what you lost (G major)
