[Verse]
Em                               
There were days from last week   
D                C
I couldn't quite complete

Em                   D       C  
Skipped ahead to the next 
      Em
afternoon  Sweat through the sheets

D        C         Em           
Slept in my shoes  Hung around 
                 D             B7
with the House of Balloons


[Chorus]
C        G              D        
Keep the speed steady   Hold the 
Em
wheel straight

C                 G        B7   
We scratch and we scrape   We're
             C
 scared then we're brave

C   G                         Em
The kids on the corner making eyes 
at the cars

C                 G            
If you want to be saved all it 
B7         Em       D           C
takes is a wave


[Verse]
Em                              D
There were kids at the car wash 
                    C
That said they could get it

Em                                 
Gave them half but they never came 
D          C
back

Em                     D         
Drove by so slowly  It felt like 
      C             Em            
we're floating  An inflatable raft
   D        C


G                                
  Our bodies are stoplights  Our 
D                     Em
minds are the streets

C                 G             
We scratch and we scrape  We're 
B7          C
scared then we're brave

C               G             D 
The kids on the corner making 
          Em
eyes at the cars

    C              G      B7     
And if you want to saved    all 
             Em
it takes is a wave

[Verse]
Em    D                  C      
Sarah I still think that you are
    G
 so beautiful

Em                       D        
I'm sorry that you don't feel the 
C           G
same way as me

Em               D            C 
We spent so much time in this 
       G
town driving slowly

Em       D                G
We spent so much money on things 
that didn't stay

C       G            D           
So call for a taxi. Slide into 
  Em
the backseat

C               G              
It rolls like a glass bottomed 
B7       C
boat

    G                           
The kids on the corner when they 
 D            Em
reach in the window

      C              G             
Their arms look like limbs from an 
B7        C
oak


[Chorus]
C        G              D        
Keep the speed steady   Hold the 
Em
wheel straight

C                   G        B7 
I swear I feel each little sway
       C


B7                C        
Our minds are the windows  Our 
B7             C
bodies are screens

B7             C                 
We scratch     We scrape     And 
   G
we dream


[Verse]
G               C                
We dream of the limbs of the 
trees  We dream of the views from 
Em
the boats

   D                        C     
Of mountains all covered in oaks
       D


       G                        
And we hope  As we hang from the 
              C
limbs of the trees

C                            Em  
We cling to the rails of the 
       D                        C 
boats  The mountains all covered 
         D
in oaks

       G     Em     G            
And we dream of the limbs of the 
C                                 
trees  We dream of the views from 
    Em
the boats

   D                Em      C    
Of mountains all covered in oaks
        D


Em     G                         
And we hope  As we hang from the 
             C
limbs of the trees

C               D            Em 
We cling to the rails on the 
        D                       C 
boats  The trees as they turn into
       Am
 smoke

D                     Em      G
The trees they turn slowly to smoke
