^CHeadlights ^Emrace towards the ^Fcorner of the dining room ^CHalf il^Emluminate a ^Fface before they disappear ^CYou breathe in ^Emforty years of ^Ffailing to describe a feeling ^CI breathe out ^Emsmoke against the ^Fwindow, trace the letters in your ^Gname ^GOur letters sound the ^Fsame full of all our changing ^GThat isn't change at ^Fall, all straight lines circle ^Cmaj9sometime

Verse 2:

^CYou said ^Emsomewhere there's a ^Fbox full of replacement parts to ^CAll the ^Emtenderness we've ^Fbroken or let rust away ^CSomewhere ^Emsympathy is ^Fmore than just a way of leaving ^CSomewhere ^Emsomeone says I'm ^Fsorry, someone's making plans to ^Gstay ^GSo tell me it's o^Fkay, tell me anything or ^GShow me there's a ^Fpull unassailable

Chorus:

That will ^Clead you there from the dark alone To be^Fnevolence that you've never known Or you ^Amknew when you were ^Emfour and can't re^Fmember Where a ^Csmall knife tears out those sloppy seams And the ^Fsilence knows what you silence means And your ^Ammetaphors as ^Emmixed as you can ^Fmake them, are linked like days to^Cmaj9gether

Pre-chorus:

^GI still hear trains at ^Fnight, when the wind is right I ^GRemember every^Fthing, lick and thread this string

Chorus:

That will ^Cnever mend you or tailor more Than a ^Fmemory of a kitchen floor or the ^Amfire door that ^Emwe kept propping ^Fopen And I ^Clove this place, the enormous sky And the ^Ffaces, hands that I'm haunted by So ^Amwhy can't I forgive these ^Fbuildings, these frameworks labeled ^Cmaj9home
