[Intro]
Em C D
Em C D
[Verse 1]
EmMake a hole with a gCun perpendDicular
EmTo the name of this toCwn in a deDsktop globe
EExit wound in a fAmoreGign nCatiGon
DShowing the home of the oCne this was wDritten for
EmMy apartment looks uCpside dDown from there
EmWater spirals the wrCong way oDut the sink
EAnd her voice is a bAmackwGards rCecGord
DIt's like a whirlpool aCnd it nDever ends
[Chorus]
GAna NCg and I aDre getting old and we stCill haven't walked
GIn the glow Bbof each other's mCajestDic presence
GListen ACna hear Dmy words, they're the oCnes you would think
GI would say Bbif there was a mCe for yDou
[Verse 2]
EmAll alone at the C'6D4 World's Fair
EmEighty dolls yelling "SmCall girl afDter all"
EWho was at the DupAmont PGavCilGion?
DWhy was the bench still wCarm? Who had bDeen there?
EmOr the time when the stCorm tangled uDp the wire
EmTo the horn on the poCle at the bDus depot
EAnd in the back of the eAmdge oGf hCearGing
DThese are the words that the voCice was repDeating:
[Chorus]
GAna NCg and I aDre getting old and we stCill haven't walked
GIn the glow Bbof each other's mCajestDic presence
GListen ACna hear Dmy words, they're the oCnes you would think
GI would say Bbif there was a mCe for yDou
[Bridge]
CWhen I was dDriving once I sGaw this pDainted Con a bridge:
C"I don't want the Dworld, GI just wDant your hCalf"
[Verse]
EmThey don't need me hCere, and I kDnow you're there
EmWhere the world goes bCy like the huDmid air
EAnd it sticks like a bAmrokGen rCecoGrd
DEverything sticks like a bAmrokGen rCecoGrd
DEverything sticks untAmil Git gCoes aGway
DAnd the truth is, we dCon't know aDnything
[Chorus] (x2)
GAna NCg and I aDre getting old and we stCill haven't walked
GIn the glow Bbof each other's mCajestDic presence
GListen ACna hear Dmy words, they're the oCnes you would think
GI would say Bbif there was a mCe for yDou
