Verse 
C                   Am 
Charleston begs for broken glass 
        F                  G 
And the morning clouds are blue 
C                   Am 
This little house is hardly us 
      F                  G 
But I keep that bed from you 
C 
Time will take our breath away 
    F                  G7 
The shade from under the tree 
C                         Am 
But the quiet moon's come back to bed 
        F 
And you just woke up 
G 
From a dirty dream 

C  Am F  G 

Verse 
C                   Am 
The harbor boats go back and forth 
        F               G 
And the eyes come on at night 
C                  Am 
Someone stole your baby clothes 
      F                  G 
But I tried to treat you right 
C 
Time will grind our bodies down 
        F                  G7       C 
And the mountains into the sea 
         Am 
With the kids asleep 
        F 
And you just woke up 
G 
From a dirty dream 

About you and me 

C  Am  F  G
