Goodbye To All That

[Verse 1]

C
Forget all the stones I threw
Bb
Intent on keeping you
   C
I lost my keys in a haze of blue
   Bb                     F                  C
A crash, a trick of the light, all heady perfume
C
We could trace that slow ellipse
Bb
    All cheeks and fingertips
       C
And grasping with such grave grips
     Bb                  F                     C
But then, the moment is done, our troubles resume


[Chorus]

       Bb          F
I'm counting on a fat chance
      Bb              F
And turning off the lights
    Bb             Dm             G                 C    Bb
I think about you back wearing strands like every night
                    F        Bb
I'm clinging to a slim hope
                 F   Bb
A message in a leaf
                        Dm           G                C
But we would think of seeds when we were as tall as trees

[Verse 2]

C
Saw you once in a stranger dress
Bb
Confused by loneliness
            C
You were dressed up in nature's best
     Bb                     F                       C
But then, they wouldn't let up, I couldn't break through
C
And when all the dust has cleared
Bb
I'll still be sitting here
C
All alone at the last frontier
     Bb                 F                  C
But then, I give it all up, I leave it to you


[Chorus]

      Bb              F
I'll take you to the west coast
       Bb                F
We'll haunt it in your dreams
        Bb               Dm        G                        C         Bb
We'll drive around like top down ghosts, stoned drunk and free, no no no
                                 F     Bb
But of course you'll miss the seasons
                    F   Bb
The summer, winter tea
                    Dm        G                C
The buttons on your big down coat are kind of neat

   Bb  F

[Outro]

                   C    Bb  F
Am I keeping you down?
                    C     Bb  F  C
Are you sticking around?
