Charades

Am

[Verse 1]
Am
I've never owned a camera, the pictures in my mind
G                          Dm
Instantly forgotten in the haste of passing time
Am
Put away your pedestal, hide your crystal ball
       G                                    Dm
If you find me out, please let me know, I'd love to get the call


[Chorus]
   C                        E
We drift on the surface and die in the depths
        Am             G6           D7
As the skipping stone sinks to its grave
C         Fm          C
Charades, charades, charades

Am

[Verse 2]
Am
Sunday driving on a Tuesday afternoon
G                          Dm
I remember days that could never end too soon
Am
Ice melts, flashes fade, the chill will make you ache
G                          Dm
For the quiet of sobriety, I prayed that it would stay


[Chorus]
   C                        E
We drift on the surface and die in the depths
        Am             G6           D7
As the skipping stone sinks to its grave
C         Fm          C
Charades, charades, charades

E

[Bridge]
Am
A dream of form
E
In days of thought
C               D7
I sought to remain
Fm
But weary eyes
C
Make heavy hearts
E
That long to be chained

Am E Am E

[Verse 3]
Am
I think it was the record, but it sounded like the house
       G                                Dm
If the music weren't so loud, you could hear me crying out
     Am
Like two gut string guitars tuned a half step apart
          G                               Dm
You can't tell me what you need and so, I give you what I want


[Chorus]
   C                        E
We drift on the surface and die in the depths
        Am             G6           D7
As the skipping stone sinks to its grave
C         Fm          Am      G D7
Charades, charades, charades
C         Fm          C
Charades, charades, charades
