Sun sets in an ocean of brown farmland haze
Bm G D F#m
The power lines draped across roads you could drive on for days
Em A Em
Well it's all too perfect, time to look
A Bm
Back at us now
G D
Endless and empty like Kansas
Bm
Our cities of clouds
G D
Flat on the table like Kansas
Bm G D A
I lay down in sheets, suddenly worn threadbare
Bm G D F#m
Every wall I lean on transforms to sliding doors and thin air
Em A Em A
Well I hope yours is kinder, let go of this when you find her
Bm
Bury this hard
G D
Down underneath your white canvas
Bm
Our houses of cards

Flat on the table like Kansas
F# F#/A# Bm
It's not regret, just an unexpected accounting of debts
F#/A#
Only now called
Em/C# F#/A#
No it's not regret, just remembrance is all
Bm Bm
Of how close we had come, the war almost won
A
But I sent up our flag and moved on

You and I

Lost to the winter like Kansas
Bm
And all my goodbyes
G D
Flat on the table like Kansas
Bm G D D
Bm G D Bm G D
discounting of debts, only now called
