[Verse 1]
         C             F                C
You were crying in the night and I could hear you
        G                F             C
I could see your slender body shake and tremble
              C               F               C              Am
and there was nothing I could think to say or do to make you see
               C                G                C
it's something wrong in me that makes me have to leave


[Chorus]
     F                        C
what I would give to be quiet beside you
Continues after the ad
         F                             C
with the window open, a record playing low
   F                                    C  C/B  Am
to feel your skin between the clean bed linens
  G                 F             C
inside a room where sadness never goes


[Verse 2]
        C              F             C
We were kissing in the kitchen, I was listening
       G              F             C
to the coffee and the bacon drip and sizzle
          C           F                 C            Am
there was flour on my hands from the biscuits in the pan
          C            G                C
and I was happier than I thought I could be


[Verse 3]
     C                F                C
Then I woke up on the road, my head was killing,
  G              F              C
remembering some shit I read in Milton
        C                 F             C
how the mind is a place unto itself and in it
        Am             C     G       C
makes a heaven of hell and a hell of heaven

what I would give to be quiet beside you

with the window open, a record playing low
   F                          C                C/B Am
to feel your skin between the clean bed linens
  G                 F             C
inside a room where sadness never goes
