[Verse 1]
D B E G
I imagine you in a place wide open and beautiful
E G D
Where the sun sets wildly over the horizon,
D B E G
In the moment you learned we can't concentrate on everything,
E G D
Though it breaks your heart as strongly as you'd like to.
[Verse 2]
D B E G
These sun bleached memories see you stand on the beach aside the ocean,
E G D
Underneath the clouds above the badlands.
D B E G
I see your picture like a still frame standing strongly beneath the sun,
E G D
When it was you, me and no one but the ghosts we shared.
B E
Though there was always talk, we could have lived without it,
G E D
Though we'd come to doubt it, always surrounded by it.
B E G
And for whatever lost, there were the hundred things we'd learned.
E G D
To the point of no return we would stand by it.
[Verse 3]
D B E G
And I imagine you like all that's pure left in America,
E G D
The red grass prairies, the Niobrara river.
D B E G
Though in the moment you learned we can't concentrate on everything,
E G D
You will always be my Antonia Shimerda.
