Verse:

C majorC
My barricades feel open now

Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
So I leave behind the bridge

Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
With a flag with a western wave and a simple stitch to fix

Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
I'll hold myself together now as you take me through the ditch

C majorC
Where the sky crumbled on the floors

C majorC
You'll sweep me off of my back

Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC       Fmaj7Fmaj7
You'll save me from the rumble you spoke of before

C majorC       Fmaj7Fmaj7
And the one who saved you

C majorC         Fmaj7Fmaj7
Ain't the one who you were banking on

C majorC       G+G       C majorC
When your highs were cutting through my lows


Bridge:  C majorC   Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7


Verse:

C majorC
Enter through the side door please

Fmaj7Fmaj7        C majorC
I know you wish to speak with me

Of old neglected promises

Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC
Of stolen souvenirs

How you could hear the ocean

Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC
But you could not see the breeze

When the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beach

Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC   Fmaj7Fmaj7
And the sun was shining on the one I wish to see

C majorC    Fmaj7Fmaj7    C majorC
And the fates are shifting under land

Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
You're beating on the floors

Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC        Fmaj7Fmaj7
You're sleeping on the same ones you've been sweeping on

C majorC       Fmaj7Fmaj7
You're the one that saved me

C majorC        Fmaj7Fmaj7
And the one that I was banking on

C majorC       G+G       C majorC
When your highs were cutting through my lows

Chorus:

Fmaj7Fmaj7
So hold me up against the tree

G+G
You used to measure me in feet

C majorC   Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
And set your sights to green

Fmaj7Fmaj7
And all the cross-town boys and on

G+G                      C majorC
They show up with the sea shells in their eyes

Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
But you know what they want

Fmaj7Fmaj7
By the glow of your skin

And you can overdress for him

C majorC   Fmaj7Fmaj7
But it will soon grow old


Bridge:  C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7 (x3)


Verse:

C majorC             Fmaj7Fmaj7
And this winter it came to pass

C majorC             Fmaj7Fmaj7
So much slower than the last

C majorC            Fmaj7Fmaj7
And now there's nothing left to grasp

G+G
In our hands and nothing left to catch

C majorC       Fmaj7Fmaj7
So they'll speak of the past

C majorC       Fmaj7Fmaj7
In the future perfect tense

Of places we will go

C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7
Before we grow old


Outro: C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7 (repeat as many as needed)
