Em                    Bm
After having spent a fast year
                 Em                      G
Waiting for the next time I can get you close
Em                   Bm
I grew used to being back here
               Em                        G
Like a chorus and rhyme, soldier at his post

Am                      Em                    D
You call and I respond, the sparrow and the song
                        C
I miss you when you’re gone

            C                      Em
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
                  G                      D
I talk into the empty like you were with me
              C                           Em
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
               G                D
Noticing the reflex taking over me
                   C             Em
I see you when I reach  (ooohhh yeah)
          G          D
Muscle memory  (ooooohh)

Em                   Bm
Again, off into the next fall
             Em                          G
I am on the back steps trying to let you in
Em                       Bm
See you standing in the front hall
               Em                    G
Maybe this is madness underneath my skin

Am                    Em                     D
Guess love is a response of the body it haunts
                   C
And we do what it wants

            C                      Em
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
                 G                        D
I talk into the empty like you were with me
                C                         Em
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
                G               D
Noticing the reflex taking over me
                  C              Em
I see you when I reach (ooohhh yeah)
           G         D
Muscle memory  (ooooohh)
              C                Em
I feel you endlessly  (ooohhh yeah)
           D       
Muscle memory  (ooooohh)


C
When I feel the chains of a thousand words
Em
And I speak your name like I know you heard 
D
I can feel you there, I can hear you move
C
And it moves me, too

C
And I’m playing games and I’m drinking wine
Em
And I see your glass sitting next to mine
D
I can feel you there when you’re not at home
C
Like I’m not alone

             C                     Em
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
                 G                       D
I talk into the empty like you were with me
               C                         Em
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
                G                D
Noticing the reflex taking over me
                  C              Em
I see you when I reach (ooohhh yeah)
           G         D
Muscle memory  (ooooohh)
              C                Em
I feel you endlessly  (ooohhh yeah)
          D                
Muscle memory
