Intro 




verse 1 

C            D/F#        C           D/F# 
Are there no blinders on lights that blare 
      C  D/F#           C  D/F#  
White noise on the eyes 
     C           D/F#       C          D/F# 
From gas station lots and reflected ice -- glare 
        C          D/F#        C    D/F# 
So that I can walk home by moonlight -- alone 
C    D/F#    C    D/F# 


verse 2 

   C         D/F#     C            D/F# 
Or can we go out to where the wind howls 
    C      D/F#    C         D/F# 
And stand alee against the trees 
        C           D/F#           C            D/F# 
They've grown up so tall that you can't see the house 
        C       D/F#          C         D/F#    G 
It's a fortress now but you know how it used to be 

G       C D      G              C       D 
  I can lie to myself and say I like it 
G              C     D     C      D/F# 
  But I would love it if you were here 
C  D/F# 
C  D/F# 
C  D/F# 


verse 3 

      C        D/F#  C          D/F# 
These words on paper smell like you 
  C   D/F#    C              D/F# 
Associated in random thought 
C     D/F#     C          D/F# 
On my lips the words turn blue 
C  D/F#    C D/F#  G 
Evanescent feeling lost 

G       C D      G              C       D 
  I can lie to myself and say I like it 
G              C     D      G          C  D 
  But I would love it if you were here 
G          C D       G              C    D 
  I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear 
G              C     D     C      D/F# 
  But I would love it if you were here 
C  D/F# 
C  D/F# 
C  D/F# 
  

verse 4 
  
C          D/F     C            D/F# 
I can just see you show me your gardens 
  C                  D/F#      C             D/F# 
I thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines 
  C         D/F#          C            D/F# 
I wanted to know you when we were both older 
  C                  D/F#          C  D/F#   G 
I thought there'd be more of those wonderful times 

G       C D      G              C       D 
  I can lie to myself and say I like it 
G              C     D      G          C  D 
  But I would love it if you were here 
G          C D       G              C    D 
  I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear 
G              C     D     C      D/F# 
  But I would love it if you were here
