Em    Am            C       G
I was waiting for a moment alone
Em     Am           C       G
Sat beside you when you got home
Em       Am                  C        G
I took a breath and you took out your phone
   Em     Am      D
So I just did the same
Em     C      D
I just did the same

[Refrain]
C                 G      D
I tried to be the simple answer
C                 G          D      C
I tried to be the ground for you to stand
              Em          Am      D
I’m trying to know what’s out of my hands

Em Am C G
Em Am C G

[Verse]
Em         Am          C        G
Change the song to whatever you like
Em      Am       C           G
I’m too tired to change your mind, so
Em      Am              C      G
Turn it up if you’re feeling inclined
   Em     Am     D
To wander to the sound
Em     C      D
Wander to the sound

[Chorus]
                        G        Em
The distant rustle of a woman undressing
    C        D            G        Em
Who could’ve kept you but kept you guessing
C       D               G          Em
Another sun that didn’t say it was setting
C       Am            D
When it called you outside

Em Am C G (x3)
Am A

[Verse]
Em  Am         C        G
Any loving and helpless tune
Em      Am              C       G
Will be old before it’s halfway through
Em      Am            C      G
And any light I leave on for you
        Em       Am     D
Will be dim next to the moon
       Em     C      D
Who am I next to the moon?

[Chorus]
                                     G             Em
‘Cause I swear I caught you stealing glances at shadows
C        D          G         Em
Drifting off on the back of a half note
C          D             G           Em
I’ll never know what it was that you had so
C   Am      D   D7
Why would I try

[Chorus]
                                   G        Em
But I can just see it through your memory’s filter
C       D                   G      Em
Singing back, all in shimmering silver
C             D        G               Em
Like there is nothing alive that could fill your
C     Am        D
Heart with such light

[Bridge]
                         G            Em
If I could only make you talk in your sleep then (I tried to be the simple answer)
C         D        G            Em
Maybe I’d know the ocean you’re keeping (I tried to be the ground for you to stand)
C         D              G               Em                     C                  Am Asus2 C D
You never look me in the eye when you’re dreaming (I'm dying to hold what's out of my...)

[Verse]
Em     Am          C         G
In the arguments I write for us
Em        Am                  C          G
About the things I know we’ll never bring up
  Em     Am           C
I always ask if I can only be
G        Em        Am   D
What you want when I am gone
       Em        C        D
Will I haunt you when I’m gone?
