This November Dsnow, it makes it hard to Bmsee the open road.
It seems the seasons Gchange exactly when you're dAesperate for things to stay
But if you Gcall, if you Acall I will Dalways A/C#answer Bmyou
With words that Gring with broken dAreams, and are Dseldom A/C#ever Bmused

I wrote a clever song I always dreamt the crowd would sing along
To my empty Gthoughts, and kill the poets to Asave their dying art.
But if you Gcall, if you Acall I will Dalways A/C#answer Bmyou
with words that Gring with broken dAreams, and are Dseldom A/C#ever Bmused
and I've never been a GcomfortA  
'cause Dno one ever A/C#taught me how to Bmgrieve
and we never quite GrememberA  
so I'll carve our names in Devery fence and A/C#barely living Bmtree
and it may Gcome to youA

But if you call, if you call I will always answer you

G A D A/C# Bm

With words that ring with broken dreams, and are seldom ever used

G A D

And it may come to you underground.

in a dream or vision that

G A

you had while you're away
