Intro: B Abm E B (2x)

verse 1 

B                            Abm 
John, listen up, I'm a wreck, I'm a mess 
                      E 
This is not the effect of a loss or a vex 
            B 
this is you 


verse 2 

B                            Abm 
Hand me the key to your door 
n.c. 
Give me one solid lead 
           E                                B 
Give me four years to climb the stairs and pine 


REFRAIN 

Dbm  
John, it's time 
              Abm 
Let me be the moon you shine 
              Dbm  
Let me be the honest home where you can rest your tired mind

verse 3 

B                             Abm 
You know me; knew, knew me well 
                                E                    B 
When I was just a girl only nineteen, twisted in my head 


verse 4 

   B                             Abm 
So don't try and tell me to hell(?)

You don't know me now

And anyway I said, 
Dbm 
Don't get tired 
              Abm 
Honey, I won't keep you long 
           Dbm                              Dbm      B 
I was just calling up to find out if you're still in town
