[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus4][D][Am][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]This church is a mess,
[G]jackets and crutches
Clutch pearls and buckets [D]of ice
Dyed cotton candy,
blonde lady [G]does the hon[D]ours
Introducing all the [G]family
who [D]fights

[Verse 2]
And the sun[Em]light of late afternoon
[D]Leans across the altar
'til it slaps the groom
The [Em]flowers we gathered in
ribbons of blue
Clutched [A]tight to her chest in her room
And the [D]band played [Em]"Christ
Is [F#m]Risen Today"
[Em]While ever[D]ybody waits

[Verse 3]
'Cause nobody [G]knows who they really are
To the [D]stranded in Coronado
trashed at the bar
'Til the [G]wind carries all
of the things you love most
[A]Long loose strings tangled in the trees
[D]Woman, your si[Em]lence
brought [D]me to my knees
[Em]Where I need[D]ed to be[Dsus4]
[D]Your

[Verse 4]
[Dsus4]hair smel[D]ls of lilac,
[G]roses and cinnamon
And waves moving
slow across [D]the rocks
Humid and heavy, [G]clouds of salt water
Rusted the hands off the clock[D]s

[Verse 5]
And I [Em]smoke cigarettes in the heat
[D]Watching Flamingos from the hotel balcony
My [Em]head was on fire and
the bartenders knew
[A]Written on the wall, in cursive,
"We're through"
And the [D]band played "The [Em]Safety Dance"
[D]As [Em]I cried in the tax[D]i alone

[Verse 6]
'Cause nobody [G]knows that
they are the fool
[D]Stranded in Coronado,
drunk at the pool
'Til the [G]drinks carries off
the burden at cost
To [A]let go of things you already lost
[D]Woman, your [Em]si lence brought
[D]me to my [Em]knees
Where I [D]needed to [Dsus4]be[D]
Woman, your si[Em]lence brought
[F#m]me to my kne[Em]es
Where I [D]needed to be

[Verse 7]
[Em][Asus4]
The [D]highway was empty,
we [Em]speeded [G]on safely
Tears falling [Em]on to yo[D]ur dress
The ring on your fin[G]ger
disappeared slowly
You let go already's my [D]guess

[Verse 8]
[G]And you cried as we made [Em]our way home
[G]Said you did[D]n't wanna leave
But I could tell by the thing[A]s
[Em]that your ma and your pa didn't do
Like [A]look me in the eye as we said
goodbye
[D]And the band says [Em]Wednesday's
[F#m]my right han[Em]d
As I pray [D]for you at night

[Verse 9]
'Cause nobody [G]knows what
they really want
[D]Til' the car's full of [G]boxes and
you [D]watch it drive [Em]off
The [G]cocaine and pills and the drinks,
they wear off
And the [A]ci garettes,
they just make you cough
Oh, [D]woman,
[Em]your love brought [F#m]me to my knees
[Em]Where I need[D]ed to be

[Verse 10]
[D][Em]
The [D]house is so quiet
[G]I hear the leaves [D]fall from the
lemon trees where
There's now too much room
in this house [G]made for two
Your side of the closet's so [D]bare

[Verse 11]
[Em]I still hear the sound of your voice
[D]Calling my name like some
midnight [A]train
[G]Rumbling heart full of ghosts
Of [A]everyone that I loved,
I miss you the most
[D]And the plans that we [Em]made they [F#m]fade like
the [Em]sun on the coast
[D]

[Verse 12]
'Cause nobody [G]knows what
they really need
[D]Til' it's [G]too late with no [D]reason to wait
[G]You wake up insane, screaming her name
But there's [A]no one to blame now but me
Oh, [D]woman,
your si[Em]lence brought [F#m]me to my knees
[Em]Where I need[D]ed to be[G][D]
Oh, woman,
your [Em]silence brought me to [F#m]my knees
[Em]Where I need[D]ed to be
