Verse:  

C      
My barricades feel open now 

       Fmaj7          C 
So I leave behind the bridge 

                                      Fmaj7          C 
With a flag with a western wave and a simple stitch to fix  

                                       Fmaj7             C  
I'll hold myself together now as you take me through the ditch 

C      
Where the sky crumbled on the floors  

C 
You'll sweep me off of my back 

          Fmaj7            C              Fmaj7  
You'll save me from the rumble you spoke of before  

          C             Fmaj7  
And the one who saved you  

         C                 Fmaj7  
Ain't the one who you were banking on 

            C             G             C  
When your highs were cutting through my lows 



Bridge:   C     Fmaj7    C    Fmaj7   



Verse:  

C  
Enter through the side door please 

       Fmaj7               C  
I know you wish to speak with me 


Of old neglected promises  

    Fmaj7       C 
Of stolen souvenirs 


How you could hear the ocean  

           Fmaj7           C  
But you could not see the breeze 


When the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beach 

                    Fmaj7       C      Fmaj7  
And the sun was shining on the one I wish to see 

         C        Fmaj7        C 
And the fates are shifting under land 

             Fmaj7          C 
You're beating on the floors 

          Fmaj7             C               Fmaj7 
You're sleeping on the same ones you've been sweeping on 

           C              Fmaj7  
You're the one that saved me 

          C               Fmaj7  
And the one that I was banking on  

               C             G             C 
When your highs were cutting through my lows 



Chorus: 

         Fmaj7  
So hold me up against the tree  

 G 
You used to measure me in feet 

      C     Fmaj7         C 
And set your sights to green 

    Fmaj7 
And all the cross-town boys and on 

G                                            C 
They show up with the sea shells in their eyes 

  Fmaj7              C  
But you know what they want 

Fmaj7  
By the glow of your skin 


And you can overdress for him 

                         C      Fmaj7  
But it will soon grow old 



Bridge:   C    Fmaj7  (x3)  



Verse: 

C                         Fmaj7 
And this winter it came to pass  

C                         Fmaj7  
So much slower than the last 

C                       Fmaj7 
And now there's nothing left to grasp 

G  
In our hands and nothing left to catch 

           C             Fmaj7  
So they'll speak of the past  

           C             Fmaj7  
In the future perfect tense 


Of places we will go 

                  C    Fmaj7  
Before we grow old 



Outro:  C   Fmaj7  (repeat as many as needed)
