F5            F4                F5         F
   Time takes care of the wound so I can believe
F5         F4                   F5                 F
   You had so much to give, you thought I couldn't see
F5           F4                   F          F
   Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived
Ab                  Bb      F
   I had to send it away to bring us back again

F5               F4             F5             F
   Your eyes and body brighten, silent waters, deep
F5               F4              F5          F
   Your precious daughter in the other room asleep
F5            F4               F5              F
   A kiss goodnight from every stranger that I meet
Ab                  Bb      F 
   I had to send it away to bring us back again

   Ab      Ab(b5)   Ab        Ab(b5)  Dbmaj7        Bb/D
   Morning theft, unpretender left, ungrateful

Ebmaj7(+9)          Dm
   True self is what brought you here to me
     Am                 Gm                   Dm
   A place where we can accept this love
Ebmaj7(+9)                     Dm
   Friendship battered down by useless history
     Am       Gm            Dm
   Unexamined failure

F (high) F/G F/A x2

F                F/G      F/A  F              F/G        F/A
   But what am I still to you? Some thief who stole from you?
Dm               C                 Bb
   Or, some fool drama queen whose chances were few?
F                    F/G    F/A   F             F/G    F/A    
   Love brings us to who we need, a place where we can save
Dm              C             Bb                          C
   A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir
F                 F/G    F/A  F                F/G    F/A
   You're a woman, I'm a calf, you're a window, I'm a knife
Dm           C             Bb
   We come together making chance into starlight
             F            F/G F/A        F            F/G F/A
   Meet me tomorrow night ... ... or any day you want ... ... 
   Dm                 C           Bb
   I have no right to wonder just how, or when
                F            F/G        F/A F              F/G F/A
   You know the meaning fits ... there's no relief in this ... ... 
Dm          C          Bb
   I miss my beautiful friend

Ab                  Bb      F 
   I had to send it away to bring her back again

   Ab      Ab(b5)   Ab        Ab(b5)  Dbmaj7        F (low)
