Chords

From the album Honey Moon [INTRO] C [VERSE 1]
           C                             D7 
Like the thorn bush twines against the chain link fence

          Dm                                  Fm G
Like the spider spins its rings between the trees

         Dm              G#m  G        C
And the lonely sycamore bends to the breeze
[VERSE 2]
C                          D7 
I am the puddles in the street 

 Dm                        Fm  G
waiting for your falling leaves

  C                                     D7 
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path

 Dm                   Fm G
Linger, let me linger
[INTERLUDE] Fm G Fm G Fm G C [BRIDGE]
  F                Fm           C
Hearts drawn on a dusty window pane, 

   Dm                     G
a love note lying in the road

   F             Fm                C
A car circling round a darkened street, 

   Dm                   G
a woman crying on the phone
[VERSE 3]
C                                  D7 
We are like the crickets in the spring, 

 Dm                     Fm  G
calling out from under stones

  C                                     D7 
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path

 Dm                   Fm G
Linger, let me linger
