G
 We took a weekend, drove to Provo

C                               -Walk- G
 The snow was white and fluffy

G
 But a weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us

C
 And the grey sky was vast and real cryptic above me

    D             C                        C  -Walk- G
 I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

G
 We took 2 weeks in the Bahamas

C
 Went out dancing every night

G
 Tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things

C                                D
 Most of the time I guess I felt alright

D      C        D     G                         C  -Walk- G
 But I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

G                   C                    G
 But you cannot run, And you cannot hide

G                                       C                D       G
 From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside

G
 We went down to New Orleans

C
 One weekend in the Spring

G
 Looked hard for what we'd lost

        C                           D
 It was painful to admit it, but we couldn't find a thing

D      C        D     G                         C  -Walk- G
 And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

G
 Went to New York City in September

        C
 Took a train out of Manhattan, to the Grand Army stop

            G
 Found that bench we'd sat together on a thousand years ago

        C                                   D
 When I felt such love for you I thought my heart was gonna pop

D      C        D     G                         C  -Walk- G   D   G
 And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do

G                 C                 G
 But I cannot run, And I can't hide

G                                       C                D      G
 From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside
