E                      A/C#
This church is a mess, jackets and crutches

                             E
Clutch pearls and buckets of ice

                          A/C#
Dyed cotton candy, blonde lady does the honours

                               E
Introducing all the family who fights

F#m
And the sunlight of late afternoon

E
Leans across the altar till it slaps the groom

F#m
The flowers we gathered in ribbons of blue

B7
Clutched tight to her chest in her room

        E           F#m      G#m   F#m
And the band played Christ Is Risen Today

      E
While everybody waits

A
'Cause nobody knows who they really are

E
To the stranded in Coronado trashed at the bar

A
Till the wind carries all of the things you love most

B7
Long loose strings tangled in the trees

E           F#m            G#m      F#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees

        E
Where I needed to be

E                           A/C#
Your hair smells of lilac, roses and cinnamon

                                 E
And waves moving slow across the rocks

                  A/C#
Humid and heavy, clouds of salt water

                          E
Rusted the hands off the clocks

      F#m7
And I smoke cigarettes in the heat

E
Watching Flamingos from the hotel balcony

F#m
My head was on fire and the bartenders knew

B7
Written on the wall, in cursive, "We're through."

E           F#m             G#m      F#m
And the band played The Safety Dance as I cried

E
In the taxi alone

A
'Cause nobody knows that they are the fool

E
Stranded in Coronado, drunk at the pool

A
'Till the drinks carries off the burden at cost

B7
To let go of things you already lost

E           F#m             G#m      F#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees

E
Where I needed to be

E           F#m             G#m      F#m
Woman, your silence brought me to my knees

E
Where I needed to be

E                      A/C#
The highway was empty, we speeded on safely

                        E
Tears falling onto your dress

                        A/C#
The ring on your finger disappeared slowly

                       E
You let go already's my guess

F#m
You cried as we made our way home

            E
Said you didn't wanna leave

F#m
But I could tell by the things that your ma and your pa didn’t do

B7
Like look me in the eye as we said goodbye

E           F#m7            G#m7     F#m7
And the band says Wednesday's my right hand

E
As I pray for you at night

A
'Cause nobody knows what they really want

         E
Till the car's full of boxes and you watch it drive off

     A
The cocaine and pills and the drinks, they wear off

        B7
And the cigarettes, they just make you cough

E           F#m7            G#m7     F#m7
Oh, woman, your love brought me to my knees

E
Where I needed to be

E
The house is so quiet

A/C#                                         E
I hear the leaves fall from the lemon trees where

                                 A/C#
There's now too much room for this house made for two

                             E
Your side of the closet's so bare

F#m
I still hear the sound of your voice

E
Calling my name like some midnight train

F#m
Rumbling heart full of ghosts

B7
Of everyone that I loved, I miss you the most

E           F#m           G#m      F#m         E
And the plans we made fade like the sun on the coast

A
'Cause nobody knows what they really need

E
Till it's too late with reason to wait

     A
You wake up insane, screaming her name

      B7
But there's no one to blame now but me

E           F#m             G#m      F#m
Oh, woman, your silence brought me to my knees

     E
Where I needed to be

E           F#m             G#m      F#m
Oh, woman, your silence brought me to my knees

  E
Where I needed to be
