Sun sets in an ocean of brown farmland haze
Bm G D F#m
The power lines draped across roads you could drive on for days
Em A Em
Well it's all too perfect, time to look

Back at us now

Endless and empty like Kansas
Bm
Our cities of clouds
G D
Flat on the table like Kansas
Bm G D A
I lay down in sheets, suddenly worn threadbare
Bm G D F#m
Every wall I lean on transforms to sliding doors and thin air

You and I

And all my goodbyes

discounting of debts, only now called
