Verse:
C
My barricades feel open now
Fmaj7C
So I leave behind the bridge
Fmaj7C
With a flag with a western wave and a simple stitch to fix
Fmaj7C
I'll hold myself together now as you take me through the ditch
C
Where the sky crumbled on the floors
C
You'll sweep me off of my back
Fmaj7CFmaj7
You'll save me from the rumble you spoke of before
CFmaj7
And the one who saved you
CFmaj7
Ain't the one who you were banking on
CGC
When your highs were cutting through my lows
Bridge: C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Verse:
C
Enter through the side door please
Fmaj7C
I know you wish to speak with me
Of old neglected promises
Fmaj7C
Of stolen souvenirs
How you could hear the ocean
Fmaj7C
But you could not see the breeze
When the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beach
Fmaj7CFmaj7
And the sun was shining on the one I wish to see
CFmaj7C
And the fates are shifting under land
Fmaj7C
You're beating on the floors
Fmaj7CFmaj7
You're sleeping on the same ones you've been sweeping on
CFmaj7
You're the one that saved me
CFmaj7
And the one that I was banking on
CGC
When your highs were cutting through my lows
Chorus:
Fmaj7
So hold me up against the tree
G
You used to measure me in feet
CFmaj7C
And set your sights to green
Fmaj7
And all the cross-town boys and on
GC
They show up with the sea shells in their eyes
Fmaj7C
But you know what they want
Fmaj7
By the glow of your skin
And you can overdress for him
Fmaj7
But it will soon grow old
Bridge: C Fmaj7 (x3)
Verse:
CFmaj7
And this winter it came to pass
CFmaj7
So much slower than the last
CFmaj7
And now there's nothing left to grasp
G
In our hands and nothing left to catch
CFmaj7
So they'll speak of the past
CFmaj7
In the future perfect tense
Of places we will go
Fmaj7
Before we grow old
Outro: C Fmaj7 (repeat as many as needed)
