"Nightclothes"
Capo on 1. fret
Am G C
We crept from the room
Am G C F
The moonlight spilled down the hall
Am G C
And I tiptoed with you
Am G (C)
Then we climbed out the window
Am G C
And there in the yard
Am G C F
Our nightclothes blowing in the breeze
Am G C
And you looked up at the sky
Am G (C)
And said the moon would be ours
F C G F
And all this time I hear those words like bombs in the distance
F C G F
And oh my mind, I can still smell the rain in the air
But time's gone by
And I'm not the kid I was on that evening
F C
And somewhere inside
G F
I hope you still see me just the way I was before I walked away
F C G F F C G F F

Mud on your dress
Blood stains on the knees of my pants
And we went in search of the moon
'cause you said that you knew where it slept in the day
So we gathered up our tools:
A sling-shot in case it ran for the sky
And a blanket from your room, the one with no holes
So we could drag it all the way back home
And you said when we got it back
We would cut it in two
And we'd wear the hide so magnificent
And then I could control time for you
And I still hear the way that you laughed
When you found I believed you
And I could still feel you pull on my arm
When I was too afraid to go
And all this time I hear those words like bombs in the distance
And my, oh my, I can still smell the dirt on our hands
'cause in my head
You're still alive, you're still alive
And I know that it's a lie
But it's one I like, it's one I like
