Verse 1
(D major) (A major) Our love (D major) is dead but without limit
(G major) Like the surface of the moon
Or the land (D major) between
here and (A major) the mountains
It is not these (D major) hiding places
that (G major) have kept us innocent
But the way you taught (D major) me
to just (A major) let it all go back
(D major)
Verse 2
So we learn to be as faithless
Stand behind (G major) bulletproof glass
Ex (D major) changing our affections through a drawer (A major)
It was always horribly (D major) convenient
and hap (G major) pening too fast
You should count your change (D major) before
you're even (A major) out the door (D major)

Verse 3
Well, yes you should, (D major)
but please return, (G major) return
To the per (D major) son that you were,
and (B minor) I will do the (A major) same
Because it's too hard (G major) to belong
to someone (D major) who is gone
My (A major) compass spins,
but wilderness remain (D major) s
Verse 4
Once too often (D major) I've retreated
into the depth (G major) s of my despair
I built a barricade (D major) to block you on the road (A major)
But standing there with all (D major) of my
possessions piled higher (G major) than a house
I felt closer (D major) to you than you
(A major) ever would have known
(D major)
Verse 5
So let's let all these tiny acts of charity
become (G major) ground on which to build
A monument (D major) to commemorate our time (A major)
And though you say (D major) you've found another
who will surely speed (G major) you on your way
Don't let the forest grow (D major) over that
path (A major) you came there by (D major)
Verse 6
But you will, so, (D major) so hurry up (G major) and
run to the one (D major) that you love
And (B minor) blind him with your (A major) kindness
And he'll make (G major) war, oh, war,
on who (D major) you were before
And claim (E minor) all that has
spoiled (G major) in your heart
(D major)
Verse 7
But (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (A minor) (A major) (D major)
now I tell myself I've
mended under these patches (G major) of blue sky
There's still a few (D major) holes that
let in a little (A major) rain
And so it's cry (D major) ing on my shingles,
my floorboards moan (G major) under my feet
The refri (D major) gerator's whining so
I've got (A major) reason to complain
(D major)
Verse 8
But I'm not gonna bless you with such compliments,
some degrad (G major) ing song of praise
Like the kind that con (D major) verted you
to me so long ago (A major)
Because the truth (D major) is that gossip's
as good as gospel (G major) in this town
You can save face (D major) but you
won't ever (A major) save your soul (D major)
Verse 9
And that's a fact (D major) so,
so hurry up (G major) and run to the one (D major) that you love
An (B minor) d tie him up in your (A major) likeness
And he'll become, (G major) become,
oh, the pris (D major) oner I was
And know (E minor) all that has spoiled (G major)
in your heart (D major)
Yeah, he'll know it all
He'll know (E minor) all that has
spoiled (G major) in your heart (D major)
Verse 10
So hurry (G major) up and run to
the one (D major) that you love
And (B minor) blind him with your (A major) kindness
And he'll make (G major) war, oh, war,
on who you (D major) were before
And claim all (E minor) that (G major) has spoiled
in your heart (D major)
