Chords

[Verse 1]
G      D           Em           C
I will hang on the hook of your splender

G      D              Em        C
As the night rolls us up in its arms

G       D              Em              C
And the square of your thumbs and your fingers

G      D          Em            C
Is the blanket of sky that's so warm

G           D          Em             C
I know it's late but I can't help but think it

G        D          Em            C
That the day hasn't shown all its cards

G        D         Em           C
Now it's up to the stars or the ocean

G        D            Em           C
Let's not retrace our steps to the car
[Chorus]
Em                  C
Picking out all the stars that we like between

G          C
Finger and thumb

Em               C
You laugh as you pass me the night as if it's

G              C
Too fragile to hold

Em            C
And I hold so close to my chest with your

G           C
Hands in my hands

Em              C
You say this is just how we rest until the,

    G             C
the land turns to sand
[Verse 2]
G        D            Em             C
Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver

G        D            Em           C
Like the wings of the last bird to leave

G       D              Em           C
For the south, for the heat, for no reason

G  D            Em            C
At all, just to fly for sheer joy

G   D               Em         C
The wind shakes the branches above us

G       D              Em            C
And the car shakes the ground at our backs

G       D          Em          C
But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams

G         D           Em           C
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound
[Chorus]
Em                  C
Picking out all the stars that we like between

G          C
Finger and thumb

Em               C
You laugh as you pass me the night as if it's

G              C
Too fragile to hold

Em            C
And I hold so close to my chest with your

G           C
Hands in my hands

Em              C
You say this is just how we rest until the,

    G             C
the land turns to sand
