Verse:
E MajorE           A/C#A/C#
This church is a mess, jackets and crutches
               E MajorE
Clutch pearls and buckets of ice
             A/C#A/C#
Dyed cotton candy, blonde lady does the honours
                E MajorE
Introducing all the family who fights

F# minorF#m
And the sunlight of late afternoon
E MajorE
Leans across the altar till it slaps the groom
F# minorF#m
The flowers we gathered in ribbons of blue
B7B7
Clutched tight to her chest in her room


Pre-Chorus:
    E MajorE      F# minorF#m   G# minorG#m  F# minorF#m
And the band played Christ Is Risen Today
   E MajorE
While everybody waits

Chorus:
A augmentedA
'Cause nobody knows who they really are
E MajorE
To the stranded in Coronado trashed at the bar
A augmentedA
Till the wind carries all of the things you love most
B7B7
Long loose strings tangled in the trees
E MajorE      F# minorF#m      G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
    E MajorE
Where I needed to be

Verse:
E MajorE              A/C#A/C#
Your hair smells of lilac, roses and cinnamon
                 E MajorE
And waves moving slow across the rocks
         A/C#A/C#
Humid and heavy, clouds of salt water
             E MajorE
Rusted the hands off the clocks

Pre-Chorus:

   F#m7F#m7
And I smoke cigarettes in the heat
E MajorE
Watching Flamingos from the hotel balcony
F# minorF#m
My head was on fire and the bartenders knew
B7B7
Written on the wall, in cursive, "We're through."
E MajorE      F# minorF#m       G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m
And the band played The Safety Dance as I cried
E MajorE
In the taxi alone

Chorus:
A augmentedA
'Cause nobody knows that they are the fool
E MajorE
Stranded in Coronado, drunk at the pool
A augmentedA
'Till the drinks carries off the burden at cost
B7B7
To let go of things you already lost
E MajorE      F# minorF#m       G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
E MajorE
Where I needed to be
E MajorE      F# minorF#m       G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
E MajorE
Where I needed to be


Verse 5:
E MajorE           A/C#A/C#
The highway was empty, we speeded on safely
            E MajorE
Tears falling onto your dress
            A/C#A/C#
The ring on your finger disappeared slowly
            E MajorE
You let go already's my guess


Pre-Chorus:
F# minorF#m
You cried as we made our way home
      E MajorE
Said you didn't wanna leave
F# minorF#m
But I could tell by the things that your ma and your pa didn’t do
B7B7
Like look me in the eye as we said goodbye
E MajorE      F#m7F#m7      G#m7G#m7   F#m7F#m7
And the band says Wednesday's my right hand
E MajorE
As I pray for you at night

Chorus:
A augmentedA
'Cause nobody knows what they really want
     E MajorE
Till the car's full of boxes and you watch it drive off
   A augmentedA
The cocaine and pills and the drinks, they wear off
    B7B7
And the cigarettes, they just make you cough
E MajorE      F#m7F#m7      G#m7G#m7   F#m7F#m7
Oh, woman, your love brought me to my knees
E MajorE
Where I needed to be


Verse 7:
E MajorE
The house is so quiet
A/C#A/C#                     E MajorE
I hear the leaves fall from the lemon trees where
                 A/C#A/C#
There's now too much room for this house made for two
               E MajorE
Your side of the closet's so bare


Verse 8:
F# minorF#m
I still hear the sound of your voice
E MajorE
Calling my name like some midnight train
F# minorF#m
Rumbling heart full of ghosts
B7B7
Of everyone that I loved, I miss you the most


Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE      F# minorF#m      G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m     E MajorE
And the plans we made fade like the sun on the coast


Chorus:
A augmentedA
'Cause nobody knows what they really need
E MajorE
Till it's too late with reason to wait
   A augmentedA
You wake up insane, screaming her name
   B7B7
But there's no one to blame now but me
E MajorE      F# minorF#m       G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m
Oh, woman, your silence brought me to my knees
   E MajorE
Where I needed to be
E MajorE      F# minorF#m       G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m
Oh, woman, your silence brought me to my knees
 E MajorE
Where I needed to be
