[Intro]

Am F Dm

(x2)

[Verse 1]

Am F

Wrote out our history in chalk on the sidewalk

Am F

For miles it lined these gray city blocks

C G Am F

And down came the rain again to wash it all away

C G F

Are we so sadly fated?

[Interlude]

Am F Dm

(x2)

[Verse 2]

Am F

Sweater and coat hung from my shoulders

Am F

I dug through the snow to read your reply

C G Am F

Now I've been sleeping sober and I feel twenty years older

C G F

Where did all of our time go?

[Bridge]

Dm F C

Is it one of her regrets

Dm F C G

The nights we spent drinking vodka and smoking cigarettes?

Dm F C

Can I ever get it back?

Dm F C G F

The feeling that I have found everything that I lack?

[Outro]

C G

I want to love you out loud

Am G F

And chisel out a future in the sidewalk you turned down

C G

I want to love you out loud

Am G F

And chisel out a future in the sidewalk you turned down

G E Am

But it seems my winter storms drag on forever

F C G F

So how can I blame her for keeping warm?
