[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[G]My hope was just in
season and that's the truth of it
As I looked up at the clouds and
called them [D]by what [G]I did
[Am]Naming the stars after the shapes
[D]that they saw there
[Am]Light up the moon with our mouth[D]
s and shouted once again

[Verse 2]
[G]Ah- ah- ah, ah- ah- ah,
ah- ah- ah, ah ha
[D][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[G]Under our breath we muttered
curses at the passer- [Bm]bys
[G]Turned the[Bm] curses so [G]they rhyme
and called them lullabies and
[Am]Sing ourselves to slumber[D]
sneaking somewhere
[Am]There's a sleep we
[D]sought way back when

[Verse 4]
[G]W- w- w,- w- w- w,- w- w- w,
- w- when w- w- w,- [Bm]w- w- w,- w- w- w,[D] -[G] w when

[Interlude 1]
[G]
Just sneakin some[Bm]where in the song

[Verse 5]
[D]
upon which we rely
[G]To keep our arm[Bm]s and bodies
[D]precariously entwined and
[Am]As I moved to the spot
[D]where you had just been
[Am]My mind and body turn[D]
and we begin [G]again
[Bm]A la la, a la

[Verse 6]
[D]la, a la la, again
[G]A la [Bm]la, a la la, a la la,[D]
[C]again[G][Am][G]
[D]Again [C]oh [Bm]babe we[G]ll[Am]

[Verse 7]
[G]Cause even you[Bm] can find
[D]a shoulder to lean upon
[G]Some oth[Bm]er vouchered social
[D]soldier without uniform and
[Am]He will look you in the eyes[D]
and you would feel at home
[Am]And then the moment had [D]passed

[Verse 8]
and you were once again a
[G]A la la, a la la, a la la, alone
A la la, a la la, a [D]la la, [G]alone
A la la, a [D]la la, [Am]a la la, alone[G]
A la la, a la [Bm]la,
[D]a la la la la [C]lone[G][Am][G]
Oooh [D]oh [C]bab[Bm]e wel[Am]l[G][Bm]

[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 9]
You will find me in [G]a stance
in empty arms
Shaking my head and sneaking
glances for you in [Am]the crowd
At the passer[D]- bys
[Am]Shaking my head like we us[D]ed

[Verse 10]
to do in better times
[G]T- t- tuh, t- t- tuh, t- t- t- better times
T- t- tuh, t- t- tuh, t- t- t- better times
