Tom: C
C Bb
C Bb F
[Verse 1]
C
Forget all the stones I threw
Bb
Intent on keeping you
C
I lost my keys in a haze of blue
Bb F C
A crash, a trick of the light, all heady perfume
C
We could trace that slow ellipse
Bb
All cheeks and fingertips
C
And grasping with such grave grips
Bb F C
But then, the moment is done, our troubles resume
[Chorus]
Bb F
I'm counting on a fat chance
Bb F
And turning off the lights
Bb Dm G C Bb
I think about you back wearing strands like every night
F Bb
I'm clinging to a slim hope
F Bb
A message in a leaf
Dm G C
But we would think of seeds when we were as tall as trees
Bb
C Bb F
[Verse 2]
C
Saw you once in a stranger dress
Bb
Confused by loneliness
C
You were dressed up in nature's best
Bb F C
But then, they wouldn't let up, I couldn't break through
C
And when all the dust has cleared
Bb
I'll still be sitting here
C
All alone at the last frontier
Bb F C
But then, I give it all up, I leave it to you
[Chorus]
Bb F
I'll take you to the west coast
Bb F
We'll haunt it in your dreams
Bb Dm G C Bb
We'll drive around like top down ghosts, stoned drunk and free, no no no
F Bb
But of course you'll miss the seasons
F Bb
The summer, winter tea
Dm G C
The buttons on your big down coat are kind of neat
Bb F
C Bb F
[Outro]
C Bb F
Am I keeping you down?
C Bb F C
Are you sticking around?
