[F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _
This is for my wife.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ Where the earth shows its bones of wind broken stone and [F] the sea and the sky are worn
[Cm] I'm caught out [Eb] of time, my blood sings with [F] wine and I'm running naked in the [Eb] sun
[Bb] There's God in the [Eb] trees, I'm weak [Bb] in the knees [F] and the sky is a painful blue
[Cm] I'd like to look [D] around, [Eb] but [F] honey, [Bb] all I'll see is you
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] Now the summer city [Eb] lights will soften [Bb] the [F] night till you think that the air is clear
[Cm] And I'm sitting with [D] friends, [Eb] we're 45 cents, [F] we'll buy another glass of [Eb] beer
[Bb] He's got something to [Eb] say, but I'm so [Bb] far [F] away that I don't know who I'm talking to
[Cm] Cause you just walked in the [Bb] door [Eb] and [F] honey, [Bb] all I'll see is you
[Eb] _ _ [Bb]
And [Eb] I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone [Bb] before
He [Eb] say you've been twice a wife [Bb] and you're through with life, [Cm] oh but honey, what the hell's it [F] for? _
[Eb] After 23 years you'd think [Bb] I could find a way [Ebm] to let you know [Bb] somehow
[Cm] That I want to see your [F] smiling face 45 [Bb] years from [Eb] now _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ Alone in the lights on stage every [F] night, I've been reaching out to find a friend
[Cm] Who knows all [Eb] the words, sings so she's [F] heard and knows how all the stories end
[Eb] [Bb] And maybe after the show [Eb] she'll [Bb] ask me to [F] go home with her for a drink or two
[Cm] Now her smile [Eb] lights her eyes, but [F] honey, [Bb] all I'll see is [Eb] you
_ [Bb]
And [Eb] I just want to hold you closer than [Bb] I've ever held [Eb] anyone [Bb] before
He [Eb] say you've been twice a [Bb] wife and you're through with [Cm] life, oh but honey, what the hell's [F] it for?
[Eb] After 23 years you'd think I could find [Bb] a way [Eb] to let you know [Bb] somehow
That [Cm] I want to see your smiling [F] face 45 [Bb] years from [Eb] now
[Bb] Help me out, won't you?
[Eb] I just want to hold you closer than I've [Bb] ever [Eb] held anyone [Bb] before
He [Eb] say you've been twice [Bb] a wife and you're through with life, [Cm] oh but honey, what the hell's [F] it for?
[Bb] [Eb] After 23 years you'd think I [Bb] could find a way to let you know somehow
