Intro: G C G D/F#
Where the G earth shows its bones of wind-broken stone,
And the D/F# sea and sky are one,
I'm Am all out of time, my C blood sings with wine,
And I'm D/F# running naked in the sun;
There's G God in the trees, I'm weak in the knees,
And the D/F# sky is a painful blue;
I'd Am like to look around, but, C honey, all I D/F# see is G you.

Well, the G summer city lights will soften the night
Till you D think that the air is clear,
I'm Am sitting with friends where C forty-five cents
Will D buy another glass of beer;
He's got some-G thing to say, but I'm so far away
That I D don't know who I'm talking to,
'Cause Am you just walked in the door, and, C honey, all I D see is G you.

Intro to chorus: G C G D/F#

Chorus:
And I C just want to hold you closer than,
I've ever G held any-C one be-G fore;
You say you've C been twice a wife and G you're through with life,
Ah, but, Am honey, what the Am/G hell's it D/F# for?
After C twenty-three years you'd think I could find a way
G To let you C know, some-G how,
I Am just want to see your Am/G smiling face
D/F# Forty-five years from G now.

Well, alone in the lights on stage every night,
I've been reac-D/F# hing out to find a friend
Who Am knows all the words C and sings so she's heard,
And D/F# knows how all the stories end;
Maybe, G after the show she'll ask me
To go home D/F# with her for a drink or two;
Now her Am smile lights her eyes, but, C honey, all I D/F# see is G you.

After C twenty-three years you'd think I could find a way
G To let you C know, some-G how,
I Am just want to see your Am/G smiling face
D/F# Forty-five years from G now.
