D                  G
Baby when I put my mind to it

  D                 G
I slip into another gear

      D                 G
And I travel in another syncopation

When all I wanna be is here with you

D               G
Sure as a snake along the river

D                  G
Sure as a ghost is in the trees

D                  G
There is a promise love delivers

Even though you never promised me

A
I wanna    stay, 'til my thoughts are o     kay

        G                             Bm
'Til my motive is    clear, 'cause im driftin a     way

         A                               E
From the weight of your  arms, from your soft feather  bed

     D          G             D       A     D
To a cold white line down the highway in my head
[Verse 3]
D                        G
All our little tears are icicles

D                        G
Hangin' on the telephone lines

D                                 G
And I call you up through all the cracklin' static

D                       G
I swear I only hear you half the time

D                      G
No matter how I try to hold you baby

D                     G
You only seem to slip away from me

D                         G
And then we're walkin out along the ocean

D                            G
Or swimmin like the dolphins out to sea
[Outro]

I'll be true to you cross my fin- gers

I'll be good to you cross my fin- gers
