i was upset that it wasn’t already up here in completion , so i got the whole thing
down and decided to share it because i love all of your faces . : D
E
our love is dead but without limit ,
A
like the surface of the moon
E B7
or the land between here and the mountains .
E
well , it is not these hiding places
A
that have kept us innocent
E B7 E
but the way you taught me to just let it all go by .
E
and so we’ve learned to be as faithless ,
A
stand behind bulletproof glass ,
E B7
exchanging our affections through a drawer .
E
and it was always horribly convenient
A
and happening too fast .
E B7 E
you should count your change before you’re even out the door .
yes , you should but please . . .
A E
return , return to the person that you were .
C#m B
and i will do the same
A E
cause it is too hard to belong to someone who is gone .
F#m A E
my compass spins . the wilderness remains .
E
once too often , i have retreated
A
into the depths of my despair .
E B7
i built a barricade to block you on the road .
E
i was standing there with all of my possessions
A
piled higher than a house ,
E B7 E
i felt closer to you than you ever would have known .
E
so let each tiny acts of charity
A
be common ground on which to build
E B7
the monument that will commemorate our times .
E
and though , you swear you’ve found another
A
who will surely speed you on your way ,
E B7 E
don’t let the forest grow over that path you came there by .
but you will , so . . .
A E
so hurry up and run to the one that you love .
C#m B
and blind him with your kindness .
A E
and he’ll make war , old war , on who you were before .
F#m A E
and claim all that has spoiled in your heart .
E
now , i tell myself i’ve mended
A
under these patches of blue sky .
E B7
there are still a few holes that let in a little rain .
E
and it’s been crying on my shingles .
A
my floorboards moan under my feet .
E B7 E
the refrigerator is whining , so i’ve got reason to complain .
E
but i Am not gonna bless you with such compliments ,
A
some degrading psalm of praise ,
E B7
like the kind that converted you to me so long ago .
E A
because the truth is that gossip’s as good as gospel in this town .
E B7 E
you can save your face but you won’t ever save your soul .
baby that’s a fact .
A E
so hurry up and run to the one that you love .
C#m B
and tie him up in your likeness ,
A E
and he’ll become , become the prisoner i was .
F#m A E
and know all that has spoiled in your heart .
F#m A E
and know all that has spoiled in your heart .
A E
so hurry up and run to the one that you love .
C#m B
and blind him with your kindness .
A E
and he’ll make war , old war , on who you were before .
F#m A E
and claim all that has spoiled in your heart .
F#m A E
yeah , he’ll claim all that has spoiled in your heart .
