Our friends on the front porch telling jokes and they swing
G
Swiftly towards happier times
DABm7
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and
G
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight
DABm7G
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see the monsters rise

Candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams living high on
G
Yesterday's lie
DABm7
Talking to me about some 0% interest and how she got a better
G
Deal than the next guy
BmBm7MBm7Bm6
And the way the lightning shocked us when we were lost and
BmBm7MBm7
Looking down that long missouri highway your hair was longer
Bm6G7
Then and now i remember
DABm7
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats they're burning like wet
G
Matches thru my miracle mile mind
DABm7
You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but
G
Mine only brushes your soft surface
DABm7G
And somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips
Oh yes
DABm7G
So i cant speak to tell you of the months before i met you
BmBm7MBm7Bm6BmBm7M
And the way the truth it locked us right about the time after
Bm7Bm6
The lightning shocked us
BmBm7MBm7Bm6
When we were young and missing
BmBm7MBm7
Round that small new england byway our lives they were sheltered
Bm6G7
Then and now i remember
DABm7

GD
Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
A
Unchanged when its not the same beginning
Bm7GD
Or along awaited end.. if i knew all the words i would write
A
Myself out of here
Bm7G
If i was all the colors i would paint you pretty in gold in a
D

About our house
DABm7
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly
G
Towards happier times
DABm7
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and
G
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight
DABm7G
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster
Die.
DABm7
We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough
G
And just so long.
DABm7
Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it
G
Long enough?
DABm7G
Is it long enough for me? long enough for me to chew on.
DABm7G
If it isn't.. if it is't .. if it is't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't
Then it wont.
