Now that I know what I’d hoped had to be in
E        F#11      Asus2        Bsus4
mind was true and refused and just in time
      Asus2   Bsus4
Do you wonder why?
E             F#11          Asus2     Bsus4
It seems I let up with the dents of a near-collision.
E           F#11      Asus2       Bsus4
 I couldn’t call and wrecked and turned up missing.

But until then
 Asus2             Bsus4
I’m cutting to the end
   C#m          Bsus4  Asus2
it’s cold in the light
             Bsus4          C#m
the one we never seemed to find
             Bsus4
I opened the door instead,

But you knew the lock
        Bsus4            C#m
and the way I was looking
                Bsus4
and still not a thing was said

E             F#11        Asus2       Bsus4
I guess I can show that I thought I’d never
          E
have you long
       F#11          Asus2           Bsus4
it’s a wall that you feel but you’re already slipping
   Asus2     Bsus4
and away you slide
   Asus2     Bsus4
can you take the ride
C#m        Bsus4        Asus2
what did it mean when we stood
         Bsus4            C#m
with our building slanted high
                Bsus4
and we spoke of harder times
C#m        Bsus4        Asus2
I pulled the rafters down
        Bsus4            C#m
but the ghosts were only dropping
          Bsus4
and honey since that night
