Intro: B  A  E x2 


verse 1: 
    B 
Sometimes I try to 
                A 
find you In the air 
          E 
before it rains and 
    A 
the hiss of cassette 
E             A 
tapes And the way I 
               E 
pause before I say your 
               B 
name Cause I remember 
everything But the 
A 
sound of your voice 
E 
Fading from the 
          B 
back Of my mind 


Refrain 1: 
        A 
And we stayed 
up talking After 
B 
everybody went 
to sleep I 
A 
realized how 
things can 
          E(hold) 
change so quickly 


Chorus 1: 
        B 
We were singing that 
              E 
record at the top of 
          C#m 
our lungs Drinking 
until we couldn’t 
     E 
even fill our cups 
         B 
When the threads of 
our conversation 
E 
tangled up You 
     C#m 
said hey can I 
 E 
stay I said why not?

verse 2: 
B 
  I found a couple 
           A 
things you left 
In the pocket 
E 
of my jeans 
     A 
Some messages 
    E 
you sent That 
  A 
I can’t bear 
     E 
to delete A 
B 
note on my arm 
   A 
In permanent 
marker From 
when we were 
 E 
standing outside 
      B 
Of the bar 


(Repeat Refrain 1)

Bridge: 
B 
  When we woke up we 
            A 
were at the beach 
We ran into the  
         B 
water smiling 
I’m not sure what 

there is that 
      E 
comes after this 
B 
  If there’s not 
            A 
anywhere to go 
But darkness all 
 B 
alone Please know 

my heart will 
       E 
always be your home
