C
My barricades feel open now
F7M C
So I leave behind the bridge
F7M C
With a flag with a western wave and a simple stitch to fix
F7M C
I'll hold myself together now as you take me through the ditch
C
Where the sky crumbled on the floors
C
You'll sweep me off of my back
F7M C F7M
You'll save me from the rumble you spoke of before
C F7M
And the one who saved you
C F7M
Ain't the one who you were banking on
C G C
When your highs were cutting through my lows
C
Enter through the side door please
F7M C
I know you wish to speak with me
Of old neglected promises
F7M C
Of stolen souvenirs
How you could hear the ocean
F7M C
But you could not see the breeze
When the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beach
F7M C F7M
And the sun was shining on the one I wish to see
C F7M C
And the fates are shifting under land
F7M C
You're beating on the floors
F7M C F7M
You're sleeping on the same ones you've been sweeping on
C F7M
You're the one that saved me
C F7M
And the one that I was banking on
C G C
When your highs were cutting through my lows
F7M
So hold me up against the tree
G
You used to measure me in feet
C F7M C
And set your sights to green
F7M
And all the cross-town boys and on
G C
They show up with the sea shells in their eyes
F7M C
But you know what they want
F7M
By the glow of your skin
And you can overdress for him
C F7M
But it will soon grow old
C F7M
And this winter it came to pass
C F7M
So much slower than the last
C F7M
And now there's nothing left to grasp
G
In our hands and nothing left to catch
C F7M
So they'll speak of the past
C F7M
In the future perfect tense
Of places we will go
C F7M
Before we grow old
