[Intro 1]
[Em][D][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I believe
[D]everything you say
[Em]'Cause you're not frightened
The way I've [D]been
[G]So I fol[Em]low you
Just in [D]case you lose [Em]your way
So glad you could let me stay [D]around

[Verse 2]
The chain link [Em]fence you climbed
To make for[D]bidden lakes our own
[Em]Yours and [D]mine
And [Em]with the ease of sea gull[D]s
We cut the engines and [A]cruise [Em]high
In the summer sky
[D][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Now I could speak to
[D]everything[Em][D][Em]
[D]
But there's no [Em]room [D]for my voice
When sweet [Em]feedback is
[D]Jumping through the hoop of your [Em]ear
Ring there goes the phone
And [Bm]then you're [D]off again
On what the caller bring[Em]s[D][Bm]
[D]So I went and

[Verse 4]
[Em]trashed myself
at [D]the bar[Em]
Confused for nothing thinking
[D]you'd be there
I'm so embar[Em]rassed 'cause it's you
Who comes [D]to take care of me
[Em]Shambling home again
with you [D]to lead
And it's [Em]not the way I want [D]to go

[Verse 5]
And I'm [Em]mad at you and
I'm [D]mad at me
Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say
[Em]Till your amber beads of wisdom come
And I want to write it down
Just the way you said [D]it
So I could keep [Em]it[D][G]
[Em]always[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][D][Em]
[D][Em]

[Verse 6]
I can't [Em]forget the smell
[D]Of [Em]summer trees at
mid[D]night[G][Em]
Bending backwards to please the [D]wind
[Em]You touch the tattoo of the sun
On [D]a warm [Em]belly that once carried
a baby for [D]a while[Em]
Then let the cracked leather
jacket [D]round you [Em]fold
Red face saints [D]monogrammed in gold
[Em]And in this beauty I would not
go any fur[D]ther
'Cause I suddenly re[Em]membered
We can't live this way [D]forever
[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[G][A][C]
[Em][G][C]

[Verse 7]
[D]Idle day[Em]light
[D]I've [Em]never caught you in a lie[D]
[Em]Not until now
I feel [D]somehow[Em]
The passing [D]of these days gone by
[Em]What will [D]you do w[Em]hen the feeling
That [F]you have is through

[Verse 8]
I need [Am]to know
'Cause I'll never stop hanging [C]on to you
And it's [Em]times like this that [F]I dread
When there's everything [Am]to say
And nothing [C]left[Em][D]
[Em]To b[D]e sa[Em]id
[D][Em]
