A Em7 D Asus

Intro: (2x)

Asus2 Em7

A pillow lays on cold cement, a blanket by a broken vent

She’s there a while, and then she’s gone

I’m away for weeks, arrive at night

Em7 D Asus2

She hears my steps, turns off the light and runs

No mind at all, more space than I need

It’s just me among the weeds, among the ghosts, among the leaves

We’ve never met but she’s a girl

Em7

Romance paper books

D Asus2

The floor is covered in long blonde curls

On afternoons I walk the graves

Bm7 Asus G

The rusted cars, the mine shaft caves

D/F# Bm7 Asus2

See a girl sadly unkempt, a child of neglect

Under moons I pass the tombs

Bm7 Asus G

Cross the highways, smell the fumes

See a girl frighteningly gaunt, somebody didn’t want

Looking nervous like a young Mia Farrow

Walking ‘long the gas stops

Em7 D Asus2

Window browsing pawn shops, guns, bows and arrows

Up on past the Halfway house

Em7 D Asus2

Past the signs Eighty South, Buttercup and Carrows

Drinking Wild Irish Rose

Em7 D Asus2

At the dead end down the road, sleeping with the sparrows

G D/F#

When evening comes I play guitar

Bm Asus2

For the planets and the stars

G D/F# Bm7 Asus2

I leave the porch light on like I do when I’m gone
