Verse 1: D Thank you for drinking my drinks D Each one like a footprint traced in felt-tip ink G Where we're dancing cheek-to-cheek G If you were taller D I've been sewing together our clothes D I matched up the hemlines on my cuffs and yours G And I've threaded carpet floss G
And spent my dollars Chorus: A7 On these quiet nights with you A7 G So that our bodies would move to country tunes G A7 And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view A7 G But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes G They tell my hands where to move Instrumental: D G Verse 2: D I think we're both still good to drive D I toss you the keys and say "I trust you with G My life." D Round lights on the road like a scene D From the end or beginning of things that appear G On the cinema screens Chorus 2: A7 On these quiet nights with you A7 G My god, our bodies do move to country tunes G A7 And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view A7 G But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes G They tell my hands where to move Instrumental: D G Bridge: A7 But when I'm drunk I become merry G A7 G And strange torsos and legs I will not carry A7 But for this now I know you are certain G A7 G When our jackets for each other we're removing A7 Like a broken jack-in-box G You and me can tremble but not talk Instrumental: D G Chorus 3: A7 On these quiet nights with you A7 G My god, our bodies do move to country tunes G A7 And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view A7 G But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes G D
