Verse: 1
E G#
Half asleep with the sun coming up out east
F# B F# E
We're driving down Garfield Ave when you said a strange and significant thing
G# F#
I can remember the words - "this was a beautiful night
B F#
It won't, it won't ever happen this way again"
Pre-Chorus:
E B
No, my dear, nothing much grows around here
F# G# F#
We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided
E B F#
Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took
G# F# E
The setting can't be nowhere else in the world
B
And the story opens up with you
G# F#
Your broken dreams and cheap perfume
E
You're on a city bus, the rain it falls
F# G#
Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls
B
And I stumble on from Uptown bars
G# F#
I guess that's all I've got so far
E
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how
F# G#
You save me and you save yourself
Verse: 2
E G#
It ends so soon, the night and the fading moon
F# B F#
I put my hand inside yours, the city looks strange and significant
E F#
I know these streets, the place where I'll live and die
F# B F#
Resigned to that fact, but I, I'm hoping it happens this way again
Pre-Chorus
E B
No, my dear, nothing much grows around here
F# G# F#
We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided
