[Intro]
G C G D
Em C G
[Verse 1]
G Where the earth shows its bones of wind-broken stone D And the sea and the sky are one Am C I'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wine D D C 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
[Interlude]
(G) C G D
[Verse 2]
G Now the summer city lights will soften the night D 'Til you'd think that the air is clear Am C And I'm sitting with friends, where forty-five cents D D C 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 G And I just want to hold you closer than 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 G C G A way to let you know somehow Am D G That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now
(G) C G D
Em C G
[Verse 3]
G So 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, sings so she's heard D D C And knows how all the stories end G Maybe after the show she'll ask me to go D 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
[Chorus]
C G And I just want to hold you closer than 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 G A way to let you know somehow Am D G That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now C G I just want to hold you closer than 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 G A way to let you know somehow Am D G That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now
