Time takes care of the wound so I can believe
F5 F4 F5 F
You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't see
F5 F4 F F
Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived
Ab Bb F
I had to send it away to bring us back again
F5 F4 F5 F
Your eyes and body brighten, silent waters, deep
F5 F4 F5 F
Your precious daughter in the other room asleep
F5 F4 F5 F
A kiss goodnight from every stranger that I meet
Ab Bb F
I had to send it away to bring us back again
Ab Ab(b5) Ab Ab(b5) Dbmaj7 Bb/D
Morning theft, unpretender left, ungrateful

A place where we can accept this love

Unexamined failure

But what am I still to you? Some thief who stole from you?
Dm C Bb
Or, some fool drama queen whose chances were few?
F F/G F/A F F/G F/A
Love brings us to who we need, a place where we can save
Dm C Bb C
A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir
F F/G F/A F F/G F/A
You're a woman, I'm a calf, you're a window, I'm a knife
Dm C Bb
We come together making chance into starlight

Meet me tomorrow night ... ... or any day you want ... ...
Dm C Bb
I have no right to wonder just how, or when
F F/G F/A F F/G F/A
You know the meaning fits ... there's no relief in this ... ...
Dm C Bb
I miss my beautiful friend
Ab Bb F
I had to send it away to bring her back again
