G A C

[Verse 1]

G A C G

After we were done painting the town

G A C

We had colored ourselves faded

G A C G

Spinning iron seemed to be pointing down

G A C

And time like tree pitch was dripping

[Break]

G A C G

It’s so hard and you never quite can tell

G A C

When the soft hand becomes grated

[Chorus]

D Em C G

But it’s true I lost my voice over you

Em D C

It seemed to force me to listen

Em D C G

And I needed truth and to find myself through

Em A C

But maybe right now I need a minute

Em A C

Maybe right now I need a minute

[Break]

Finally all the dust had settled

But it’s true I lost my voice over you

And I needed truth and to find myself through

Maybe right now I need a minute

Press your face to the cold frosted glass

G Am Em A Am D

And watch the seasons breathe

[Chorus]
