The Way It Dimmed

Tom: G

G           Em            G
This is how I think about you
    G       C              Em             G
A parade of images I never finish sorting through
C          G        D       Em
Your hands laced in my belt loops
    C                       G
I remember the fire and the way it dimmed
     D                   G
As a fire will sometimes do

G          Em            G
Closer was never close enough
   G                C                          Em       G
At closing time, we watched the lights and the sun come up
C                G
You begged me to stay
          D                   Em
You fell asleep and I slipped away
    C                       G
I remember the fire and the way it dimmed
     D                   G
As a fire will sometimes do

Flashback
     Em                    G
Your headlights across the lawn
            C                Em              G
You are the thing I'm always thinking that I lost
C           G               D               Em
Your fingerprints are still burned in to my skin
      C                         G
And I remember the fire and the way it dimmed
     D                   G
As a fire will sometimes do
