[Verse 1]
GmAre you still in control of the boat that Abyou row
BbOr do you still cling to me when its Cmsinking
GmI never condemned you, I only Abconsoled you
BbWhen candlelight made me a CmKing
[Chorus]
FmFor the wide-eyed and laughing Gpassed like a season
AbErasing a Gmpassion to Cmsin
FmFor no one knew better than the Gtealeaves and the tarots
AbThat the wide-eyed and Ddimlaughing were Abjust one Ebstep Fmahead of the Cmwind
[Verse 2]
GmAnd the hearts that you played on the porch swing for Abme
BbWas a song that I'd heard in the Cmpast
GmFor I had an audience somewhere iAbnside you
BbThat applauded whenever you Cmlaughed
[Verse 3]
GmGone is a word that I now rarely Abuse
BbThough sometime in the course of a Cmday
GmI go racing back like a man Abpossessed
FmBy the wide-eyed and laughing daughters of some Gdifferent age
