           E                             F#7sus4      A
I remember driving down the rutted roads late at night,

              B7                        E
Following the summer moon bright as any pair of headlights,

               Asus2                            C#m7
I felt the air on my face and the night pressed inside my palm,

                  Bsus4
A moment captured in a place,

            Asus2        E
This memory stays strong.
[Chorus]
E              Asus2
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               E
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               B7
Oh my darling, oh my love,

                A          Asus2 E
The things that we are made  of.
[Verse 2]
               E                     F#sus4               A
And I remember feeling I’m alive and in no need of saviors,

                B7                              E
If the past’s another country I’m at the border with my papers,

                    Asus2                           C#m7
Where is your heart if not inside you where is home or are you lost,

         Bsus4
Where is love if not beside you,

                 Asus2              E
I had no answers but they let me cross.
[Chorus]
E              Asus2
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               E
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               B7
Oh my darling, oh my love,

                A          Asus2 E
The things that we are made  of.
[Verse 3]
                 Asus2                          C#m7
Like the silence of my shadow when the twilight world is calling,

               B7                           E
The loneliness that knows me by the cadence of my walking,

              Asus2                         C#m7
And the scar upon my elbow and the sound of my own breathing,

              B7
My reflection in a window,

                  Asus2       E
And the way I’m always leaving.
[Interlude]
             Asus2
Mmm mm mm mm mmm,

             E
Mmm mm mm mm mmm mmm,

              B7   A  Asus2
Mmm mm mm mmm mmm.
[Verse 4]
               E                           F#sus4                    A
And I remember wishing for some other life than this one I’ve claimed,

                 B7                         E
How often have I been convinced how eagerly I’d make that trade,

                 Asus2                           C#m7
Then all at once I see your face and the summer night and the open door,

               B7
Dimmer now but not erased,

                Asus2         E
And I know what these are for.
[Outro]
E              Asus2
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               E
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               B7
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               E
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               Asus2
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               C#m7
Oh my darling, oh my love,

               B7
Oh my darling, oh my love,

                A  Asus2       E
The things that we are made of.

        Asus2   E
Mmm mmm mmm,

          Asus2   E
Yeah yeah yeah,
Asus2 A Asus2 A E
