[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D]
[Em][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Where the [G]earth
shows its bones of wind-broken stone
stone
And [D]the sea and the sky are one
I'm [Am]caught out of time,
[C]my blood sings with wine
And I'm [D]running naked
in [C]the sun
There's [G]God in the trees,
I'm [C]weak in the knees
[G]And [D]the sky is a painful blue
I'd [Am]like to look [C]around, but Honey,
all I [D]see is [G]you.
[C][G][D]

[Verse 2]
The sum[G]mer city lights will [C]soften the [G]night
Til you'd [D]think that the air is clear
And I'm [Am]sit ting with friends,
[C]where forty-five cents
cents
Will [D]buy another glass of [C]beer
He's got [G]something to say,
but I'm so [C]far [G]away
That I [D]don't know who
I'm talking to
'Cause you just [Am]walked in the door,
[G]and Hon[C]ey, all I see[D] is you
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Chorus]
And I [C]just want to hold you closer than
I've ever [G]held any[C]one be[G]fore
You say you've [C]been twice a wife
and [G]you're through with life
Ah, but Hon[Am]ey, what the hell's i[D]t for?
After [C]twenty-three years years
you'd think I could find
[G]A way to let you [C]know somehow
[G]That I wan[Am]t to see your smiling fac[C]e for[D]ty-five
years years from [G]now.

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D][Em][C]
[G]

[Verse 4]
So [G]alone in the lights on stage every night
I've been [D]reaching out to find a friend
Who [Am]knows all the words,
[G]sin[C]gs so she's heard
And [D]knows how all the stories [C]end
Maybe [G]after the show
she'll [C]ask me to [G]go
Home [D]with her for a drink or two
Now [Am]her smile lights her eye[G]s,
but [C]Honey, all I [D]see is you
[G][Chorus: x2][C]
