A augmentedA
Long for the words with hearts and wings
A augmentedA
Something familiar when you miss everything
F# minorF#m
You rest your head against the window pane
A augmentedA
Feet on the dash through the steady rain
A augmentedA
I drove you home while you slept in the front seat
A augmentedA
After a show at the Stone Pony
F# minorF#m
Watch you awake so god damn sweetly
A augmentedA                    A/G# F# minorF#m
Over the Walt Whitman Bridge back to Philly

I toss and turn at four in the morning
A augmentedA
Petrified of where our future's going
F# minorF#m
'Cause you're the kind of girl that deserves the world
A augmentedA
I'm just the kind of guy that promises the world
A augmentedA
So I fix a drink nice and strong in the kitchen
A augmentedA
Something quick that'll cure my conscience
F# minorF#m
Creep back to bed and I kiss your forehead
A augmentedA                   A/G# F# minorF#m
Maybe everything is fine and it's all in my head

Verse:

A augmentedA
We drove up to Massachusetts together
A augmentedA
Your old house was just like you remember
F# minorF#m
We stayed in your adolescent room
A augmentedA
Rummaged through the boxes labeled "former you"
A augmentedA
The souvenirs of happiness in the moment
                F# minorF#m
Your wild years that you often mention
                 A augmentedA
The sands of time in an hourglass
                B minorBm
That you're always begging for back
            E MajorE
I got drunk in the afternoon
                A augmentedA
with your father in the living room
               F# minorF#m
As the television broke the silence
               B minorBm            E MajorE
You smiled, know that I was trying the best that I can do
