CAPO: 4th fret  


Intro: C C/B C/A F G 

               C 
All of these grateful looks 
       	    C/A 
All these grateful eyes 
	F	                 G 
All the furious stares and the fretful sighs 
          C              
Promising everything 
   C/A 
To everyone 
      F 
We'll be back soon 
           G 
You're my favorite one 

                  C 
And I'll keep it quiet 
               C/A 
I'll hold you dear 
       F                 G 
Your whisperin fills the ear 

               C 
Tell me you'll stay 
                   C/A 
We would have such fun 
       F                       G 
And a lie, you don't need anyone 

           F                         G 
And the screams, the wails, and the call 
     C     C/B       C/A 
The headiness of the Fall 
              F                   G 
Ten-thousand miles from where we began 
          C           C/B        C/A 
I fell asleep with a picture in hand 
       F G              C 
It was all       for a woman 

	C	                      C/A 
You say that you're grateful for the time alone 
     F                G 
Two years away and I don't miss home 
             C                      C/A	 
And everyone asks you if you still think of her 
    F                      G 
So you smile politely and you demur 


            C                        C/A 
But then all at once your head starts to swell 
             F                        G 
And you can feel her breath on your skin 
               C                   C/A 
If I let you stay, the same spot today 
       F                       G 
She's above you, below you in ways 


             F 
And you're shiverin cold 
             G 
Like you're just 10 years old 
           C      C/B          C/A 
And she's lying asleep in your bed 

             F   
And you're standing beside her 
     G 
The light from inside her 
        C       C/B              C/A 
Filling up the darkness in your head 
       F  G            C 
It was all      for a woman 


             F 
And you've drowned in the teasing 
           G 
You've forgotten the reason 
     C      C/B       C/A 
The muse inspired the art 
           F 
You'd give anything for 
        G 
Her to say them once more 
     C           C/B           C/A 
The words you believed at the start 
              F                     G 
Ten-thousand miles from where it began 
          C           C/B         C/A 
Falling asleep with a picture in hand 
           F             G 
And it was all... it was all 
         C   C/B    C/A 
For the look in her eyes 
         F             G             C 
Of the promise of the light    of a woman
