Intro:
C Em D* Em
C Em D* Em
You've been low,
C Em D**
you've been thinking about the last time,
C Em D* Em
but I know
C Em D**
there's still a window that leads outside...
C/G D11 Em (hammer 5th string)
Sweet air through the summer screen,
C/G D11 Em
tall grass and warm stones,
C/G D11 Em
where are you today?
C... (into verse chords)
'cause you're missing it all
You were twisting the lens,
but it never stayed in focus,
so you laid on your bed,
and just lost track of the seasons
C Em Dsus4 Em
And now you know the feel of cold steel to temple
C Em Dsus4 Em
and you know the feel of razor to wrist
C Em
and you're lost in a room
Dsus4 Em C/G (into chorus chords)
that rocks back and forth like a ship deck
Sweet air through the summer screen,
tall grass and warm stones,
where are you today?
'cause you're missing it all...
C D
But we never explain
C D
why we treasure our secrets,
C Em D**
how we're in love with our sadness sometimes...
C Em Dsus4 Em (repeat)
But you wanted something you saw in the sunset,
so don't you leave her 'til you know what it is
and let's turn to the west
and let's turn up the music
and let's hope it's always as good as this...
Life is cruel and it's clumsy
(but we never explain)
I wish I could say that it's better than that
(why we treasure our secrets)
but this is our time
(how we're in love with our sadness sometimes)
this is all that we have 'til we turn out the lights
Life is cruel and it's clumsy save its very best moments
(but we never explain)
I wish I could say that it's better than that
(why we treasure our secrets)
but this our time
(how we're in love with our sadness sometimes)
this is all that we have 'til we turn out the lights
End on C/G, D11, Em
