Capo 8
"Muscle Memory"
EmAfter having spent a fBmast year
Waiting for the nEmext time I can get you cGlose
EmI grew used to being Bmback here
Like a chorus aEmnd rhyme, soldier at his pGost
AmYou call and I respond, Emthe sparrow and the soDng
I miss you when you’re gCone
When I am alCone, I see you in the dEmark
I talk into the emGpty like you were with Dme
Started on a cCold night, felt you in the lEmow light
Noticing the reGflex taking over Dme
I see you when I reCach  (ooohhh yEmeah)
Muscle memGory  (oooooDhh)
EmAgain, off into the nBmext fall
I am on the bEmack steps trying to let you Gin
EmSee you standing in the fBmront hall
Maybe this is mEmadness underneath my sGkin
AmGuess love is a responEmse of the body it hauntDs
And we do what it wCants
When I am alCone, I see you in the dEmark
I talk into the eGmpty like you were with mDe
Started on a colCd night, felt you in the lEmow light
Noticing the refGlex taking over Dme
I see you when I rCeach (ooohhh yeEmah)
Muscle memoGry  (oooooDhh)
I feel you endClessly  (ooohhh yEmeah)
Muscle memoDry  (ooooohh)
CWhen I feel the chains of a thousand words
EmAnd I speak your name like I know you heard 
DI can feel you there, I can hear you move
CAnd it moves me, too
CAnd I’m playing games and I’m drinking wine
EmAnd I see your glass sitting next to mine
DI can feel you there when you’re not at home
CLike I’m not alone
When I am aloCne, I see you in the dEmark
I talk into the eGmpty like you were with Dme
Started on a coCld night, felt you in the Emlow light
Noticing the refGlex taking over mDe
I see you when I rCeach (ooohhh yeEmah)
Muscle memoGry  (oooooDhh)
I feel you endClessly  (ooohhh yEmeah)
Muscle memDory
