An absolutely stunning song. Enjoy! [Intro] Am C/G Am C/G
F     C/G   G                     F
Years, days, makes no difference to me babe

You look exactly the same to me

F         C/G  G                      F
Ain’t no time, crossing your legs inside the diner

C/G                     G               F
Raising your coffee to your lips, the steam

F                 C/G                          F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you

                   C/G
Wrapping her left arm around your right

G                 Am     C/G         Am    C/G
Ready to walk you through the night

F                  C/G         G                 F
 You whisper to a restless ear, “can you get me out of here?

C/G                    G             F
This place smells like piss and beer, can you get me out?”

F                C/G    G               F
You were asking me,      how to get you free

C/G               G        F
I only know the recipe to roam

F                 C/G                          F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you

 Old stars

G                F
 Filling up my throat

C/G                      G
 You gave em to me when I was born

Now they’re coming out

F                      C/G       G                        F
 Laying there on the hospital bed your eyes were narrow, blue and red

 C/G                 G                 F
You took a draw of breath and said to me

F                 C/G                         F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like me

 Old friends,

 Old mothers, dogs and brothers

C/G                     G                 F
 There’s only so much letting go you can ask someone to do

F                 C/G     G                    F
 So I keep you by my side, i will not give you to the tide

Ready to walk me through the night
