Talking Backwards

E                     F#m 
I’m walking backwards do we have to do this all again? 
A                            Am 
You’re holding back words no reason to stick around now 
E                     F#m 
We’re feeling awkward do we have to say it all again? 
A                         Am 
I’m stepping backwards no reason to stick around but 



C#m         A                 E            E7 
I’d like to be there when the window frost starts to bloom 
C#m             A                 E              E7 
And I’d like to be there when the sun decides to warm the room 
C#m             A               E                 E7 
And I’d like to be there in the summertime, or at least sometime 
       A                      Am 
But in afternoon the light is leaking in like oxygen 
      E      F#m         A               Am 
And I take a breath And think about the day we left 
      E      F#m         A               Am 
And I take a breath And think about the day we left 
      E      F#m         A                      D7 
And I take a breath And think about the day we left 



E                       F#m 
I’m stretching outwards want to touch everything I see 
A                            Am 
You will not shout words you will not shout at me, no 



C#m         A                 E                  E7 
I’d like to be there when the blizzard shuts the open door 
C#m             A               E                 E7 
And I’d like to be there if you get locked out, I still have a key 
C#m             A               E                 E7 
And I’d like to be there in the summertime, or at least sometime 
       A                      Am 
But in afternoon the light is leaking in like oxygen 
      E      F#m         A               Am 
And I take a breath And think about the day we left 
      E      F#m         A               Am 
And I take a breath And think about the day we left 
      E      F#m         A                      D7 
And I take a breath And think about the day we left 



A            Bm                 D 
No no no, is that the best that you can do? 
A            Bm                 D 
No no no, is that the best that you can do? 
A            Bm                 D 
No no no, is that the best that you can do? 
A            Bm                 B7 
No no no, is that the best that you can do?

C#m         A                 E             E7 
I’d like to be there when the crescent moon darkens trees 
C#m             A                 E            E7 
And I’d like to be there when the evening pond starts to freeze 
C#m             A               E                 E7
