Verse:
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
I put on that sweater you gave me
   C minorCm          E MajorE
I woke up in the kitchen a few minutes later
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
I didn't know how I had gotten there
        E MajorE
Did you guide me?
      D MajorD         A augmentedA
I didn't make it to your funeral
        C minorCm     E MajorE
I didn't want ritual nor resign
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
I just wanted to hold hands with
 D MajorD    A augmentedA
J.P and Mary-Jo
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
But I couldn't conjure tears
       C minorCm      E MajorE
We're too good for stupid angels
      D MajorD        A augmentedA
Blackness held its breath beside me
        D MajorD        A augmentedA
And burned the air till it was gone
      D MajorD A augmentedA
Till it was gone
      D MajorD E MajorE
Till it was gone

Verse:
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
Couldn't pay my respects to a dead man
    C minorCm          E MajorE
Your life was much more to me
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
And I chased away with sticks and stones
      D MajorD         A augmentedA
But that rage kept following me
  D MajorD   A augmentedA
Following me
  D MajorD   E MajorE
Following me
   D MajorD            A augmentedA
So lost I was asleep in the palms of your hands
   C minorCm           E MajorE
In dreams we were happy and safe
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
I can't comprehend the ways that I miss you
    D MajorD           A augmentedA
They come to light in my mistakes
 D MajorD    A augmentedA
In my mistakes
  D MajorD    E MajorE
In my mistakes
      D MajorD      C minorCm
Now I'm traveling down Tacoma Way
     A augmentedA       D MajorD
And the world turns in slow motion
       A augmentedA        E MajorE
It's the twilight of our old home
     D MajorD         A augmentedA
And I'm still in love with you
  D MajorD        C minorCm
Oh, here on South Tacoma Way
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
We've memories for matinees
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
And the tears come warm and heavy
     D MajorD       E MajorE   A augmentedA
And the cross streets bear your name
      D MajorD      E MajorE   A augmentedA
Oh, the cross streets bear your name
