GYou carry the beach in your way too short hair
DThat you shaved off last week cause you freaked and got scared
That when it's Emlonger, you rDemind me of herG  
GSo you offered it up with what passed for authority,
DA strict sort of challenge that you directed straight at me
You said "forgeEmt her, I don'Dt care what you Gtwo were"
So it's a tCrick on your ego
DA two-step off tempo
EmA solid gold bracelet
Under Glights in a window
DIn some shopping mall where I never Ggo
GYou play coy and count tiles, drag your toes through the water
DRaise your eyes, bite your lip and my mind's in the gutter
You move at Emme and take mDy face in your Ghands
GI feel light bulbs explode and a fire crack thunder sends
DThe slow seismic shift, the sprawling cloud cover
But when we're Emfinished I feDel awful againG  
So it's the Csame sorry story
Just the caDst changes nightly
It skEmips like a record
But it gGlows like a movie
You're the Dcountry sky that I Gnever see
GShake Din your vCoice makes me feel empty and Gugly
All scDattered anger like a windstorm Chowling violently
And I wanna fade Cout
And wake up somewhere Delse
Where no face is famGiliar
And I'm left by mCyself
To keep plugging awaCy
On my own wasted Dtime
To eat badly and Gspend all my money and Cwrite
To not feel too guiClty
To be tired at niDght
Since I'm not fixing tGhings here
I'll leave them beChind
So you make your decDision cause I'm through making Gmine
GNow I walk where the street swallows light like it's water
I see the sDlant of your smirk on every kid at the corner
But if you cEmalled, I'd never Dknow what to saGy
So I just hope you never CwillD  
Cause things are easier that wayG

Chords in this song · guitar

You carry the beach in your way too short hair

That you shaved off last week cause you freaked and got scared

Em D G

That when it's longer, you remind me of her

So you offered it up with what passed for authority,

A strict sort of challenge that you directed straight at me

Em D G

You said "forget her, I don't care what you two were"

So it's a trick on your ego

A two-step off tempo

A solid gold bracelet

Under lights in a window

D G

In some shopping mall where I never go

You play coy and count tiles, drag your toes through the water

Raise your eyes, bite your lip and my mind's in the gutter

Em D G

You move at me and take my face in your hands

I feel light bulbs explode and a fire crack thunder sends

The slow seismic shift, the sprawling cloud cover

Em D G

But when we're finished I feel awful again

So it's the same sorry story

Just the cast changes nightly

It skips like a record

But it glows like a movie

D G

You're the country sky that I never see

G D C G

Shake in your voice makes me feel empty and ugly

D C

All scattered anger like a windstorm howling violently

And I wanna fade out

And wake up somewhere else

Where no face is familiar

And I'm left by myself

To keep plugging away

On my own wasted time

G C

To eat badly and spend all my money and write

To not feel too guilty

To be tired at night

Since I'm not fixing things here

I'll leave them behind

D G

So you make your decision cause I'm through making mine

Now I walk where the street swallows light like it's water

I see the slant of your smirk on every kid at the corner

Em D G

But if you called, I'd never know what to say

C D

So I just hope you never will

Cause things are easier that way
