Intro:
Em7     Dadd9/F#     G

VERSE:
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
You were nothing but the fragrance of an old dream,
              Em7            Dadd9/F#       G
That was just time playing tricks on my mind.
            Em7                Dadd9/F#           G
You've escaped from all the pictures that I remember,
          Em7        Dadd9/F#     G
You come back as a bottle of wine.

Em7     Dadd9/F#     G     x2

           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
In your letters, I can see your mouth was moving,
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
Your voice was at the tip of my recall.
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
Then your ghost could only brush against my t-shirt,
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
And now your body shows up to take it all.

           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
And your movements, I could match before your maker
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
I know them deep enough to paint them in the air.
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
Life is a liquid, and I stretch far past its boarders.
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
I have a feeling you'll be waiting for me there.

           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
And my city shakes its head at my wilderness,
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
And my heart has built a mind for itself.
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
And I have found a little shelter inside of a sickness.
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
I'll be waiting for the icicles to melt.


BRIDGE:
Em7               C/G
But I want to borrow the light,
                                 Em7
Use it on you when the sun goes down.
                 C/G
Let's lead the rusted old folks back in the city
             Em7
Where they belong.
             C/G
Where they belong.


           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
And your children, like little wolves that go unnoticed,
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
As the diamonds play their gimmick against the sand.
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
And I have found an ocean in the doorway of your body,
           Em7            Dadd9/F#         G
I know the secret, but I haven't got a plan.


Em7               C/G
And I want to borrow the light,
                                 Em7
Use it on you when the sun goes down.
                 C/G
Let's lead the rusted old folks back in the city
             Em7
Where they belong.

Em7               C/G
There was a cloud in my face
                                 Em7
And now I gotta wash my eyes.
                 C/G
'Cause I though love was just a strip mall,
             Em7
Baby, you are a surprise.
                 C/G
You are a surprise.
