verse 1 

C 
Like the setting sun 
                               F 
And more than anyone, you look warmer 
                    C 
When you're sinking down 

verse 2 
C 
Find your favorite tree 

Then come sit next to me 
       F                            C 
I've a sheet that's softer than the ground 

G 
Time spent with you 
           F                       C 
Feels like charcoal sketches for a painting 
                      G 
That you won't let me see 

But I've come to find 
        F                             C 
That comfort comes like quarters in a pocket 
                       F 
I thought were lost to me 

verse 3 
C 
All your favorite clothes 
                    F 
And all the pain we know 
                                C 
Came from those you favor for a time 

verse 4 
C 
Take it off your chest 
                
And throw your loneliness 
     F                     C 
In a surly river, cold and wild 

G 
Time spent with you 
           F                       C 
Feels like charcoal sketches for a painting 
                      G 
That you won't let me see 

But I've come to find 
     F                                C 
That comfort comes like quarters in a pocket 
                       F 
I thought were lost to me 

Instrumental 

Verse 5 
C 
Lie about your sign 
                      
And hang your worry line 
F                         C 
On a missing poster for a dog 

G 
Time spent with you 
           F                       C 
Feels like charcoal sketches for a painting 
                      G 
That you won't let me see 

But I've come to find 
     F                                C 
That comfort comes like quarters in a pocket 
               C 
Discovered accidentally
