Tom:
Introdução: D# Cm F G#
D#
I wanted you to lead me
Cm
Like a dog to a fight
F G#
But you got so much older overnight
D#
I wanted you to hold me
Cm
Like the snap of a snare
F G#
But god, you gotta go and I'm not going there
D# Cm
You took the family car and you peeled out of view
F G#
I hated you in the fleeting way that children often do
D# Cm
Would it have killed you then to tell me that you cared
F G#
And would it have killed me then to tell you I was scared
Cm G G# D#
I could drive all night and never see anything new
Cm G G# D#
I could take both my hands and wrap them around you
Cm G G# F
But nothing could keep you here for me or me for you
D# Cm
The bad times took a year or two and then we&rsquo re splitting ways
F G#
I wonder if they never left would we all have stayed
D# Cm
Would it have killed you then to tell me you were scared
F G#
And would it have killed me then to tell you that I cared
Cm G G# D#
I could drive all night and never see anything new
Cm G G# D#
I could take both my hands and wrap them around you
Cm G G# F
But nothing could keep you here for me or me for you
D# G#
I could mourn what waits for you like a flagpole in the distance
Cm G
But mines waving the same
G#
You know
D#
And your body moves and changes
G#
Regardless of my aching
Cm G
And mines changing the same
G#
I know
D# Cm
There's only so much love you can feel from a distance
F G#
And time makes a fool of everyone who tries to change it
D# Cm
I&rsquo ll picture you in the living room Christmas morning full n fed
F G#
You picture me in whatever light you like inside your head
