[Intro 1]
[Am][Bb][Am][Bb]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I'm traveling in some [G]vehicle
[C][Bb]
I'm [Csus4]sitting in some c[C]afe
A de[Csus4]fector from the petty wa[C]rs
That shell shocked love away
[G]

[Verse 2]
There's comfort in [Csus4]melancholy
When there's no need [C]to explain
It's just as nat[Csus4]ural as the weat[C]her
In this moody sky today
[G]

[Verse 3]
In our [C]possessive coupling
So much could not be [G]expressed
So now I am re[C]turning to [D]myself
[Dsus4]These things that you and I
[D]suppressed
[Dsus4]I see something

[Verse 4]
[C]of
myself in everyone
Just at this moment of [G]the world
As snow gathers [D]like bolts
[Dsus4]of lace
Waltzing on a ball[C]room girl

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][Bb][G]

[Verse 5]
You know it never has been [G]easy[C]
[Csus4]Whether you do or you do[C] not resign
Whether you travel
the breadth [Csus4]of extremities
[C]Or stick to some str[G]aighter line

[Verse 6]
[G]
Now here's a man and a woman sitting
on [Csus4]a rock
They're either going
to thaw out [C]or freeze
Listen, [Csus4]strain s [C]of Benny Goodman
Coming through' the snow
and the pinewood [G]trees

[Verse 7]
I'm [C]porous with travel fever
But you know I'm so glad
to be [G]on my own
Still somehow [C]the slightest
touch of [D]a stranger
[Dsus4]Can set up trembling in my bones

[Verse 8]
I know, no one's [C]going
to show me everything
We all come and [G]go unknown
Each so deep [Dsus4]and super
[D]ficial[Dsus4]
Between the for[C]ceps and

[Interlude 2]
the stone
[C][Am][Bb][G]

[Verse 9]
Well, I looked at the granite [G]markers
[Csus4]
Those tributes to [C]finality, to eternity
[Csus4]And then I looked at myself here[C]
Chicken scratching for my im[G]mortality

[Verse 10]
[G]
In the church, they light the [C]candles
[Csus4]And the wax rolls down like [C]tears
There is the [Csus4]hope and
[C]the hopelessness
I've witnessed [G]thirty years

[Verse 11]
We're only [C]particles of change I know,
I know
Orbiting [G]around the sun
But how can I have that [C]point [D]of view
When I'm [Dsus4]al ways bound
and tied to someone

[Verse 12]
White flags of [C]winter chimneys
Wave truce [G]against the moon
In the mirrors of a [D]modern [Dsus4]bank
From the window of a [C]hotel

[Interlude 3]
room
[C][Am][Bb][Am]
[G]I'm traveling in

[Verse 13]
some [C]vehicle
[Csus4]I'm sitting in some cafe[C]
A defector from the petty wars
Until love [G]sucks me back that way

[Outro 1]
