verse 1CD/F#CD/F#
Are there no blinders on lights that blare
CD/F#CD/F#
White noise on the eyes
CD/F#CD/F#
From gas station lots and reflected ice -- glare
CD/F#CD/F#
So that I can walk home by moonlight -- alone
CD/F#CD/F#verse 2CD/F#CD/F#
Or can we go out to where the wind howls
CD/F#CD/F#
And stand alee against the trees
CD/F#CD/F#
They've grown up so tall that you can't see the house
CD/F#CD/F#G
It's a fortress now but you know how it used to be
GCDGCD
I can lie to myself and say I like it
GCDCD/F#
But I would love it if you were here
CD/F#CD/F#CD/F#
verse 3CD/F#CD/F#
These words on paper smell like you
CD/F#CD/F#
Associated in random thought
CD/F#CD/F#
On my lips the words turn blue
CD/F#CD/F#G
Evanescent feeling lost
GCDGCD
I can lie to myself and say I like it
GCDGCD
But I would love it if you were here
GCDGCD
I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear
GCDCD/F#
But I would love it if you were here
CD/F#CD/F#CD/F#
verse 4CD/FCD/F#
I can just see you show me your gardens
CD/F#CD/F#
I thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines
CD/F#CD/F#
I wanted to know you when we were both older
CD/F#CD/F#G
I thought there'd be more of those wonderful times
GCDGCD
I can lie to myself and say I like it
GCDGCD
But I would love it if you were here
GCDGCD
I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear
GCDCD/F#
But I would love it if you were here
