Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
D MajorD
Thank you for drinking my drinks
D MajorD
Each one like a footprint traced in felt-tip ink
G+G
Where we're dancing cheek-to-cheek
G+G
If you were taller
D MajorD
I've been sewing together our clothes
D MajorD
I matched up the hemlines on my cuffs and yours
G+G
And I've threaded carpet floss
G+G
And spent my dollars
Chorus:
A7A7
On these quiet nights with you
A7A7 G+G
So that our bodies would move to country tunes
G+G A7A7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
A7A7 G+G
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
G+G
They tell my hands where to move
Instrumental:
D MajorD G+G
Verse 2:
D MajorD
I think we're both still good to drive
D MajorD
I toss you the keys and say "I trust you with
G+G
My life."
D MajorD
Round lights on the road like a scene
D MajorD
From the end or beginning of things that appear
G+G
On the cinema screens
Chorus 2:
A7A7
On these quiet nights with you
A7A7 G+G
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
G+G A7A7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
A7A7 G+G
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
G+G
They tell my hands where to move
Instrumental:
D MajorD G+G
Bridge:
A7A7
But when I'm drunk I become merry
G+G A7A7 G+G
And strange torsos and legs I will not carry
A7A7
But for this now I know you are certain
G+G A7A7 G+G
When our jackets for each other we're removing
A7A7
Like a broken jack-in-box
G+G
You and me can tremble but not talk
Instrumental:
D MajorD G+G
Chorus 3:
A7A7
On these quiet nights with you
A7A7 G+G
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
G+G A7A7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
A7A7 G+G
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
G+G D MajorD
