Intro:
Bb majorBb DmDm Eb MajorEb
Bb majorBb DmDm Eb MajorEb

Verse 1:
Bb majorBb     DmDm       Eb MajorEb
  Said I'd walk to San Francisco
Bb majorBb    DmDm       Eb MajorEb
  After everything was done
Bb majorBb       DmDm        FF
  Thought the noise and moving busy
    G minorGm    Bb majorBb           C majorC
Kept my mind from really knowing what was gone

Verse 2:
Bb majorBb    DmDm       Eb MajorEb
  When I finally saw it closing
Bb majorBb      DmDm        Eb MajorEb
  All those miles across the bay
Bb majorBb    DmDm      FF
  I was only standing closer to
    G minorGm       Bb majorBb       C majorC
  The man I hoped to lose along the way

Chorus:
    FF     Bb majorBb
But If I'm being honest
    FF     Bb majorBb
But If I'm being honest
FF     Bb majorBb
 I would tell him that
    G minorGm      A minorAm
It's a picture book
   B minorBm
It's a hospital gown
    FF
It's an aspen tree in the summer breeze
  C majorC
She saw, as waving hands
    G minorGm       A minorAm
It's a watching chair
   B minorBm
And a  holy company
    FF
Like a sailing ship

Hard rot in it
     C majorC      Bb majorBb       FF
That will never again float upon the sea

Verse 3:
Bb majorBb    DmDm          Eb MajorEb
  Well I found that there's a humor
Bb majorBb    DmDm        Eb MajorEb
  In an old and fond goodbye
Bb majorBb  DmDm      FF       G minorGm
  As if the early passing was a door
         Bb majorBb         C majorC
  That she could look through with a smile

Chorus:
   FF     Bb majorBb
So If I'm being honest
FF       Bb majorBb
 If I'm being honest
FF     Bb majorBb
 I would tell her
    G minorGm
It's a pair of jeans
   B minorBm
It's a rude awakening
    FF                  C majorC
It's a fine life lived in the privilege of standing there in the afterlight
    G minorGm     A minorAm
It's a photograph
Bb majorBb
 Folded in my wallet
   FF
To remind myself that what she left
  C majorC      Bb majorBb     FF
