[Intro]
C F (x4)
[Chorus]
F C G Sing out sing out cicadas, they call them the chorus of the south Am F C G Space stretching out between us now like some country mouth Am Em And the landscapes change and the clouds they cry C F G Babe I just want you by my side, oh I just want you by my side C F Triangualations brought me back again C G F and your eyes flashed up in silver string
C F (x4)
[Verse 1]
F C Arapahoe County I crossed that line Am G By the time I made it home I'd forgetten why F C G Like a slight toothed dog lost along the riverside F C The strangers in the church sing their holy hymns Am G I got a five dollar bill and a vagrancy ticket F C G F Poem you wrote for me on the back of a receipt and it felt just like it was torn out of some holy bible
[Bridge]
C Am G F C G Sweet, heat, lighting falls F Am G F C G Sweet, heat, lighting falls
[Verse 2]
F C Am G And the shiver and the shine of your table wine left us drunk as a desert and high as the pines F C G By the time my boots dried out, we'd forgotten our names F C Am G And I passed your town down in San Anton, you know leaving in the evening is the loneliest F C G That night she'll hunt you boy, even if you're hiding out
[Chorus]
F C G Am Sing out, sing out cicadas they call them the chorus of the south F C G Space stretching out between us now like some country mouth Am Em And the landscapes change, well the clouds they cry C F C G Babe I just want you by my side, oh I just wanted you by my side C F Triangulations brought me back again C G F And I followed all your silver string
[Outro]
C F (x4) humming
