Whitewash

Em D  G


[Verse 1]
G          A
This night never happened
   C                      G
If it's all right with you
      A
Not a word of our weakness
C                G
So much as a clue
C         D
There's a place outside
    C                   Em  D  C
I'm glad to play no part
C           D                     
The fairest arms can tally up the 
C         G
faintest stars


[Verse 2]
G     A
Wash away my weekend
  C             G
Shatter my sight
      A
C'mon sweet amnesia
       C                  G
You're needed here tonight
C      D
Take a seat in the shadows
   C                   Em  D  C
Forget it as it goes
C    D                   C
Dissipate in the morning air


[Chorus 1]

        G
All you know
               D
If you find out
            C             D
You'll find every lie you might
      Em      D         C
I was nowhere near last night
                        G
Whitewash everything in sight

G  A  C


[Bridge]
D                          C 
These suspicions have been long 
           G
drained dry
D                          C    G
Our persistence holds them here
D                          C 
A maze of bars and rented rooms 
     G
remain
          C
Enough to make you almost look away
C
Oh, oh

[Verse 3]
G          A
This night never happened
   C                   G
If it's all right with you
G       A                     C 
Another for the collection of 
               G
things we didn't do
     C       D
That private party is over
      C                     Em  D  C
Thank god we get new starts
C           D                C  
The fairest arms still tally up 
              G
the faintest stars


[Chorus 2]
              D
When it comes down
     C                 D
In a clear and certain light
      Em      D         C
I was nowhere near last night
      Em      D         C
I was nowhere near last night
                        G
Whitewash everything in sight...
