Our friends on the front porch telling jokes and they swing
A#
Swiftly towards happier times

Matches thru my miracle mile mind
FCDm7
You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but
A#
Mine only brushes your soft surface
FCDm7A#
And somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips

Dm Dm7M Dm7Dm6Dm Dm7M

The lightning shocked us
Dm Dm7M Dm7Dm6
When we were young and missing

Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
C
Unchanged when its not the same beginning

It separates our house from the middle of the street.. talking
About our house

We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough
A#
And just so long.
FCDm7
Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it
A#
Long enough?
FCDm7A#

Then it wont.
