Intro:
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
VERSE:
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
You were nothing but the fragrance of an old dream,
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
That was just time playing tricks on my mind.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
You've escaped from all the pictures that I remember,
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
You come back as a bottle of wine.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G x2
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
In your letters, I can see your mouth was moving,
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
Your voice was at the tip of my recall.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
Then your ghost could only brush against my t-shirt,
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
And now your body shows up to take it all.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
And your movements, I could match before your maker
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
I know them deep enough to paint them in the air.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
Life is a liquid, and I stretch far past its boarders.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
I have a feeling you'll be waiting for me there.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
And my city shakes its head at my wilderness,
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
And my heart has built a mind for itself.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
And I have found a little shelter inside of a sickness.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
I'll be waiting for the icicles to melt.
BRIDGE:
Em7 C/G
But I want to borrow the light,
Em7
Use it on you when the sun goes down.
C/G
Let's lead the rusted old folks back in the city
Em7
Where they belong.
C/G
Where they belong.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
And your children, like little wolves that go unnoticed,
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
As the diamonds play their gimmick against the sand.
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
And I have found an ocean in the doorway of your body,
Em7 Dadd9/F# G
I know the secret, but I haven't got a plan.
Em7 C/G
And I want to borrow the light,
Em7
Use it on you when the sun goes down.
C/G
Let's lead the rusted old folks back in the city
Em7
Where they belong.
Em7 C/G
There was a cloud in my face
Em7
And now I gotta wash my eyes.
C/G
'Cause I though love was just a strip mall,
Em7
Baby, you are a surprise.
C/G
You are a surprise.
