[Verse 1]
     C majorC       FF        C majorC
You were crying in the night and I could hear you
    G+G        FF       C majorC
I could see your slender body shake and tremble
       C majorC        FF        C majorC
and there was nothing I could think to say or do to make you see
        G+G        FF        C majorC
it's something wrong in me that makes me have to leave


[Chorus]
   A minorAm            C majorC
what I would give to be quiet beside you
     A minorAm              C majorC
with the window open, a record playing low
  A minorAm                 C majorC
to feel your skin between the clean bed linens
 G+G         FF       C majorC
inside a room where sadness never goes


[Verse 2]
    C majorC       FF       C majorC
We were kissing in the kitchen, I was listening
    G+G       FF       C majorC
to the coffee and the bacon drip and sizzle
     C majorC      FF         C majorC
there was flour on my hands from the biscuits in the pan
     G+G      FF        C majorC
and I was happier than I thought I could be


[Verse 3]
   C majorC        FF        C majorC
Then I woke up on the road, my head was killing,
 G+G       FF       C majorC
remembering some shit I read in Milton
    C majorC         FF       C majorC
how the mind is a place unto itself and in it
    C majorC       G+G   FF    C majorC
makes a heaven of hell and a hell of heaven


[Chorus]
   A minorAm            C majorC
what I would give to be quiet beside you
     A minorAm              C majorC
with the window open, a record playing low
  A minorAm                 C majorC
to feel your skin between the clean bed linens
 G+G         FF       C majorC
inside a room where sadness never goes
