I'm looking out into the sound

I'm breathing deep, I'm turning 'round

(I'm saying)
 D MajorD                        E minorEm

           E minorEm
Baby when we're older

   D MajorD
Your hair is thin and light
                E minorEm
As a white forest fire in summertime
   D MajorD
Your throat, where it's exposed

Looks like a crime
            E minorEm
I'll sneak-up slow and whisper quiet

Verse 4:
   D MajorD
Your pretty face looks like an island
                E minorEm
Rising from a sea that's slowly drying

Verse 6:
  D MajorD
How will we go? What do you think?
               E minorEm
Into the dust? Into the drink?
  D MajorD
You slipped your fears into my head
              E minorEm
Some midnight freeway ride along with Jennifer

Verse 7:
D MajorD
Hotels, jails, hospital details
           E minorEm
The highway hugs the water
 D MajorD
I had to cross a field of seething fire
              E minorEm
To see the moonlight on the river

Verse 8:

(I'm saying)
 D MajorD                      E minorEm

Squeeze my arm and feel it pull away like someday
       E minorEm
Baby, when we differ

Tell them 'bout the way you really loved her
