F                    C      
Our friends on the front porch 
                           Dm7
telling jokes and they swing
              A#
Swiftly towards happier times
   F                    C      
Expending lines and finding more 
                    Dm7
energy for the effort and
                    A#
Getting distance from that front 
porch spotlight
F                 C           
But us we found peace in shadows 
     Dm7           A#
long enough to see the monsters rise
F               C                
Candy's got some space to fill in
        Dm7
 her daydreams living high on

Yesterday's lie
F                        C       
Talking to me about some 0% 
    Dm7

              A#
Deal than the next guy

Dm       Dm7M                     
And the way the lightning shocked 
Dm7               Dm6
us when we were lost and
Dm                Dm7M       
Looking down that long missouri 
                Dm7
highway your hair was longer
         Dm6           Bb7
Then and now i remember

F                   C            
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats
                      Dm7
 they're burning like wet
                               A#
Matches thru my miracle mile mind
F                           C    
You left your thumbprint inside 
                            Dm7

                               A#
Mine only brushes your soft surface
F                C          Dm7 
And somehow it leaves me 
                    A#
listless, my tongue curls under my 
lips

Dm   Dm7M Dm7 Dm6               
And the way the truth it locked 
Dm  Dm7M
us right about the time after
              Dm7        Dm6
The lightning shocked us

When we were young and missing
Dm6

Round that small new england 
        Dm7

Unchanged when its not the same 
beginning
    Dm7             A#            
Or along awaited end.. if i knew 
       F
