[Verse 1]
C            D/F#        C      
Are there no blinders on lights 
     D/F#
that blare
      C  D/F#           C  D/F#
White noise on the eyes
     C           D/F#       C    
From gas station lots and 
      D/F#
reflected ice -- glare
        C          D/F#        C 
So that I can walk home by 
   D/F#
moonlight -- alone
C    D/F#    C    D/F#


[Verse 2]
   C         D/F#     C           
Or can we go out to where the wind
 D/F#
 howls
    C      D/F#    C         D/F#
And stand alee against the trees
        C           D/F#        
They've grown up so tall that you 
   C            D/F#
can't see the house
        C       D/F#          C  
It's a fortress now but you know 
       D/F#    G
how it used to be


[Chorus 1]
Continúa después del anuncio
G       C D      G              
  I can lie to myself and say I 
C       D
like it
G              C     D     C    
  But I would love it if you 
  D/F#
were here
C  D/F#
C  D/F#
C  D/F#


[Verse 3]
      C        D/F#  C          D/F#
These words on paper smell like you
  C   D/F#    C              D/F#
Associated in random thought
C     D/F#     C          D/F#
On my lips the words turn blue
C  D/F#    C D/F#  G
Evanescent feeling lost


[Chorus 2]
G       C D      G              
  I can lie to myself and say I 
C       D
like it
G              C     D      G  
  But I would love it if you 
        C  D
were here
G          C D       G         
  I'm just sad for myself 
     C    D
because I know you're clear
G              C     D     C    
  But I would love it if you 
  D/F#
were here
C  D/F#
C  D/F#
C  D/F#


[Verse 4]
C          D/F#    C            
I can just see you show me your 
D/F#
gardens
  C                  D/F#    
I thought you'd grow roses and 
  C             D/F#
grapes on low vines
  C         D/F#          C      
I wanted to know you when we were
      D/F#
 both older
  C                  D/F#          
I thought there'd be more of those 
C  D/F#   G
wonderful times


[Chorus 3]
G       C D      G              
  I can lie to myself and say I 
C       D
like it
G              C     D      G  
  But I would love it if you 
        C  D
were here
G          C D       G         
  I'm just sad for myself 
     C    D
because I know you're clear
G              C     D     C    
  But I would love it if you 
  D/F#
were here

C  D/F#
        You were here
C  D/F#
        Yes, you were
C  D/F#
        Yes, you were
C  D/F#
