[Verse 1]
G Where the earth shows its bones of wind-broken stone, D And the sea and sky are one, Am C I'm all out of time, my blood sings with wine, D And I'm running naked in the sun; G There's God in the trees, I'm weak in the knees, D And the sky is a painful blue; Am C D G I'd like to look around, but, honey, all I see is you.
[Bridge]
G C G D
[Verse 2]
G Well, the summer city lights will soften the night D Till you think that the air is clear, Am C I'm sitting with friends where forty-five cents D Will buy another glass of beer; G He's got something to say, but I'm so far away D That I don't know who I'm talking to, Am C D G 'Cause you just walked in the door, and, honey, all I see is you.
[Chorus]
C And I just want to hold you closer than, G C G I've ever held anyone before; C G You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life, Am D Ah, but, honey, what the hell's it for? C After twenty-three years you'd think I could find a way G C G To let you know, somehow, Am I wanna see your smiling face D G Forty-five years from now.

[Verse 3]
Well, alone in the lights on stage every night,
D I've been reaching out to find a friend Am C Who knows all the words and sings so she's heard, D And knows how all the stories end; G Maybe, after the show, she'll ask me D To go home with her for a drink or two; Am C D G Now her smile lights her eyes, but, honey, all I see is you.

C After twenty-three years you'd think I could find a way G C G To let you know, somehow, Am I wanna see your smiling face D G Forty-five years from now.
