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

F#m
And the sunlight of late afternoon
E
Leans across the altar till it slaps the groom
F#m
The flowers we gathered in ribbons of blue
B7
Clutched tight to her chest in her room


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

Chorus:
A
'Cause nobody knows who they really are
E
To the stranded in Coronado trashed at the bar
A
Till the wind carries all of the things you love most
B7
Long loose strings tangled in the trees
E           F#m            G#m      F#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
        E
Where I needed to be


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

Pre-Chorus:

      F#m7
And I smoke cigarettes in the heat
E
Watching Flamingos from the hotel balcony
F#m
My head was on fire and the bartenders knew
B7
Written on the wall, in cursive, "We're through."
E           F#m             G#m      F#m
And the band played The Safety Dance as I cried
E
In the taxi alone

e|------4--2--0---|

A|----------------|
E|----------------|

Chorus:
A
'Cause nobody knows that they are the fool
E
Stranded in Coronado, drunk at the pool
A
'Till the drinks carries off the burden at cost
B7
To let go of things you already lost
E           F#m             G#m      F#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
E
Where I needed to be
E           F#m             G#m      F#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees
E
Where I needed to be


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


Pre-Chorus:
F#m
You cried as we made our way home
            E
Said you didn't wanna leave
F#m
But I could tell by the things that your ma and your pa didn’t do
B7
Like look me in the eye as we said goodbye
E           F#m7            G#m7     F#m7
And the band says Wednesday's my right hand
E
As I pray for you at night

Chorus:
A
'Cause nobody knows what they really want
         E
Till the car's full of boxes and you watch it drive off
     A
The cocaine and pills and the drinks, they wear off
        B7
And the cigarettes, they just make you cough
E           F#m7            G#m7     F#m7
Oh, woman, your love brought me to my knees
E
Where I needed to be


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


Verse 8:
F#m
I still hear the sound of your voice
E
Calling my name like some midnight train
F#m
Rumbling heart full of ghosts
B7
Of everyone that I loved, I miss you the most


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


Chorus:
A
'Cause nobody knows what they really need
E
Till it's too late with reason to wait
     A
You wake up insane, screaming her name
      B7
But there's no one to blame now but me
E           F#m             G#m      F#m
Oh, woman, your silence brought me to my knees
     E
Where I needed to be
E           F#m             G#m      F#m
Oh, woman, your silence brought me to my knees
  E
Where I needed to be
