E          F#11          Asus2 Bsus4Now that I know what I’d hoped had to be in
E        F#11      Asus2        Bsus4mind was true and refused and just in time
      Asus2   Bsus4Do you wonder why?
E             F#11          Asus2     Bsus4It seems I let up with the dents of a near-collision.
E           F#11      Asus2       Bsus4 I couldn’t call and wrecked and turned up missing.

   C#m          Bsus4  Asus2it’s cold in the light
             Bsus4          C#mthe one we never seemed to find

                Bsus4and still not a thing was said

E             F#11        Asus2       Bsus4I guess I can show that I thought I’d never
          Ehave you long

   Asus2     Bsus4and away you slide
   Asus2     Bsus4can you take the ride
C#m        Bsus4        Asus2what did it mean when we stood
         Bsus4            C#mwith our building slanted high
                Bsus4and we spoke of harder times
C#m        Bsus4        Asus2I pulled the rafters down
        Bsus4            C#mbut the ghosts were only dropping
          Bsus4and honey since that night
