Verse
A A
Your mind sings some lyrics like we're memory
A7 F#m
Your sad our goodbyes sound nostalgy
E E6
Your chords swung me from idolatry
D7 D7
I'm living like a vagabond, I just can't decide
A A
When to leave
A A
But it's roots are in the river to my mood it swings
A7 F#m
A vow even is impossible to keep
E E6
Every day is starting on the balance beam

Still you're standing with me, always carrying
A
The melody
G G
Smiling all the while, the paint chips off
G D A
Of my Mardi Gras beads
D D A A

It's the images contained not the lens or frames
A7 F#m
Recalled to my mind before I fall asleep

A list of regrets is no place to be

I'm coming in late but I'll never modulate us
