[Verse 1] Picking
CA long time Fago I Cwas sitting by a Fhome
CI didn't know what it was Amfor, CI didn't know why I waEms thereC  
Seeds put in the Flawn, Csaw the flowers growing so FI thought i'd tag alongC  
I peeked through the Amdoor, iCt was vacant as could EmbeC  
Until I saw my vines Fgrowing in it's windows, CI knew this had startled Fme
[Chorus] Strumming
  GIf we laid on the Amfloors in it's Crooms, I'd let your tEmhoughts consume Gme
Unlike the Amsidewalks paved that Conly saw what they Emwanted to Gsee
If we laid in the Ambackyard, Cand heard the cars in the EmstreetsG  
ThAmought maybe if you could see me in the Cdark, in the light I could finally sEmee meG  
If we sat on the froAmnt porch, Cand could feel you surroEmunding meG  
Then for the Amfirst time I could fCeel your heart EmbeatingG  
[Interlude]
C F C F C
[Verse 2] Picking
You tell me, "SometiFmes at night Cthe dark crawls through youFr windows"C  
I tell you, "You need to Amboard them up Cbecause the dark that you're seeing is shEmadows"C  
There are things in it's Fattic Cand there are things in it's Fbasement
[Chorus] Strumming
  GIf we laid on the Amfloors in it's Crooms, I'd let your tEmhoughts consume Gme
Unlike the Amsidewalks paved that Conly saw what they Emwanted to Gsee
If we laid in the Ambackyard, Cand heard the cars in the EmstreetsG  
ThAmought maybe if you could see me in the Cdark, in the light I could finally sEmee meG  
If we sat on the froAmnt porch, Cand could feel you surroEmunding meG  
Then for the Amfirst time I could fCeel your heart EmbeatingG  
[Bridge] 2x
  CBut the sign on the froAmnt lawn, Cit says to sAmave him
Could you saCve him? Could you saAmve her? Could you saCve them Amall?
Could you pCaint them? Could you Ampaint them?
Could you repCair them Amall?
Could you lCove it? Would you lovAme it?
Could you lCove it at Amall?
[Chorus] Strumming
  GIf we laid on the Amfloors in it's Crooms, I'd let your tEmhoughts consume Gme
