[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][Em][C][Dm][Gsus4][G][C]
[Dm][C][G][Dm][F][G]
[C]It's

[Verse 1]
a quiet street in someone's [Dm]town
On stranger's feet I mark my [C]ground
I trace [Cm]my circles round a[Baug]nd round
I'm [Em]sworn [Dm]to find [G]me
[C]In a party scene and I'd just got loose
It[Dm]s my devil's luck to be [C]introduced
To one who takes [Em]their [C]shape like [Em]you
It [C]unbind[Dm]s me
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[F]
We knew we wouldn't [C]have [Em]everything
And [Dm]time proves it true
I've got [F]a flat- top six
[C]dressed [Em]in steel strings
An[Dm]d I don't have y[G]ou
You would[C]n't like the [Am]life
And I wouldn't want you to
[F][G]

[Verse 3]
There's [C]a secret in this solitude
As [Dm]my love unfolds I find it's often crude
[C]I c[Em]all you l[C]ate and my words intrude
And I [Dm]falter[G]
But the [C]miles don't shrink by
[Dm]telephone
The crackling wire becomes our [C]home
I tell you I'm [Em]okay alone
And then [Dm]I wonder[G]
[Dm]I've got t[G]owns[F] ahead
[C]And shows behind
[Dm]And I won't be lost

[Verse 4]
[F]I join my name to [C]that solid line
[Dm]Though it always costs
[G]But [C]it takes my time
[Am]And it fills my mi[G]nd[C]
[F]And it feeds the[G] ghost of
[C]Memories in the quiet hea[Dm]t
When our words were trim
And our hope was neat
We said [C]our purpose here
Was to be complete [Em]with,
'I want [Dm]you'[G][C]

[Verse 5]
It's a woman's dream this autonomy
[Dm]Where the lines connect
And the points stay free
We [C]said passion [Em]as an op[C]en sea
Would only haunt [Dm]you
[G]I watch [F]the last cab
[C]Turn [Em]its headlights down
[Dm]To today's sunrise[G][Dm]
I [F]must have wanted you in
[C]every [Dm]town
And it's no [C]surprise
That want alone don't [Am]sit you down
By [Dm]my love e[C]yes[Dm][C][Em][C]
[Dm][C][G][C][Dm][C]
[Dm][G]
[C][F][G][Em][Dm][G][F][Dm][G][Em][G][Dm][G]
[C][Am][Dm][G]
[C]I've got memories in the
quiet [Dm]heat
When our words were trim
And our hope was neat
We said [C]our purpose here
Was to be complete [Em]with,

[Outro 1]
'I want you'
[Dm][G][Dm][C][Dm][C]
[Dm][G][C][Dm][C]
[Dm]
