Intro: F, C, Dm, Bb 

 F                  C 
Our friends on the front porch,  
                                                          
well they're telling jokes and they  
 Dm                    Bb 
swing swiftly towards happier times 
 F                   C                           Dm 
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort  
                    Bb 
and getting distance from that front porch spotlight 
 F          C                  Dm 
But us we found peace in shadows  
                Bb 
long enough to see the monsters rise 
 F                   C                 Dm 
Candy's got some space to fill in her daydream  
                Bb 
living high on yesterday's lies 
 F                       C     Dm 
Talking to me about some 0% interest and  
               Bb 
how she got a better deal than the next guy 
 Dm     Dm7                        Dm                
And the way the lightning shocked us  
             G 
when we were lost and we were looking 
 Dm        Dm7                 Dm                                 
Down that long Missouri highway your hair was longer  
            G 
then and now I can remember 
    Bb 
Say now I remember oh so well 
  
 F                   C                 
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats  
                Dm 
they're burning like wet matches  
                       Bb 
through my miracle mile mind 
 F                 C 
You left your thumbprint inside me now  
                        Dm 
for months it seems but mine  
                        Bb 
only brushes your soft surface 
And somehow 
 F           C               
Somehow it leaves me listless  
 Dm                Bb 
my tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes 
 F           C                      Dm                 Bb 
So I can't speak to tell you of the months before I met you 
 Dm     Dm7                        Dm   
And the way, oh the truth it locked us 
    Dm7                                   Dm 
Oh right about the time after the lightning shocked us 
             Dm7                Dm 
When we were young, when we were young and missing 
    Dm7                            Dm                                          G 
Round that small New England byway our lives they were sheltered then and now I can remember 
 Bb 
Say now well I remember oh so well, almost too well 

 Verse: F, C, Dm, Bb 
Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down 
Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time 
Unchanged when its not the same beginning or along awaited end... 
If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here 
If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture, so I'm told little sister 
So now I'm sold little sister 
Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden and the laws of Eden 
And how you were the rock of Gibraltar, and how they called you foxy 
Well that's another whole box of pandora's, that's another whole box of them ties 
Slide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the median 
Right back into the median, the median lo-oh 
It separates, our house from the middle of the street... 
It separates our house from the middle of the street 

Talking about our house 
  
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times 
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porch 
Spotlight 
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster die. 
We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough and just so long. 
Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it long enough? 
Is it long enough for me? Long enough for me to chew on. 
If it isn't... if it isn't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't then it wont. 
And that's just the way that it goes.
