[Intro]
G Am7 Bmadd11 C Em9
G Am7 Bmadd11 C Em9
[Verse 1]
GIt's a quiet street in someone's town
On Am7stranger's feet I mark my ground
Bmadd11
I trace my circles round and round
I'm sworn to Cfind me Em9
[Verse 2]
GIn a party scene and I'd just got loose
Its my Am7devil's luck to be introduced
Bmadd11
To one who takes their shape like you
It Cunbinds me Em9
[Chorus]
C Bmadd11
We knew we wouldn't have everything
And time pAm7roves it true
C Bmadd11
I've got a flat-top six dressed in steel strings
And I don't Am7have you Em9
You wouldn't Glike the G/F#life
And I Emwouldn'tD7/F# want you tCo D7/F#
[Verse 3]
GThere's a secret in this solitude
As my lAm7ove unfolds I find it's often crude
Bmadd11
I call you late and my words intrude
And CI falter Em9
[Verse 4]
GBut the miles don't shrink by telephone
The craAm7ckling wire becomes our home
Bmadd11
I tell you I'm okay alone
And Cthen I wonderEm9
[Chorus]
C Bmadd11
I've got towns ahead and shows behind
And I won'Am7t be lost
C Bmadd11
I join my name to that solid line
Though it alwAm7ays costs Em9
But it Gtakes my tiG/F#me
and itEm fills my mD7/F#ind and it fCeeds tEm9he ghost of
[Verse 5]
GMemories in the quiet heat
When ouAm7r words were trim and our hope was neat
Bmadd11
We said our purpose here was to be complete
withC 'I want you'Em9
[Verse 6]
GIt's a woman's dream this autonomy
Where tAm7he lines connect and the points stay free
Bmadd11
We said passion as an open sea
WoulCd only haunt Em9you
[Chorus]
C Bmadd11
I watch the last cab, turn its headlights down
To today'sAm7 sunrise
C Bmadd11
I must have wanted you in every town
And it's nAm7o surprise Em9
That Gwant aG/F#lone
don't Emsit you D7/F#down by my lCove eyEm9es
[Outro]
GI've got memories in the quiet heat
When ourAm7 words were trim and our hope was neat
Bmadd11
We said our purpose here was to be complete
withC 'I want you'Em9
