_ _ _ What would it take to gain [Bm] _ acceptance _ to _
_ [G] _ _ _ the grounds behind your [Bm] eyes? _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ You know I'm open to _ [Bm] _ suggestions, _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ the one you made we [D] never tried. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ Let it slip right out from [F#m] under _ _ your _
_ [D] breath and it rolled around [G] my _ head. _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ Though it was nothing I'd [G] consider, _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ I knew it had to [D] happen and _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ Stood on the banks of the [Bm] _ Potomac, _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ watched the water rushing _ [Bm] by. _ _ _ _ _
[Em] You said we should live in the [Bm] moment, _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ then I'd miss you all [D] the time.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
And I know no one will [F#m]
believe me, _ _ _ _ [D] _
but I don't want a second [G] _
_ chance.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
To be an object of [G]
desire, _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
that means slipping through [D] your hands.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] If I had [D] tried _ to _ _ make you mine, _ [A] _
you would have _ walked [D]
away.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
Life can't _ compete [F#m] with _ _ _ memories, _ _ [G] _
they never [F#m] have to [D] _
change. _ _ _ _ _ _

[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This world is full of [Bm] missing _ persons, _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ all of these _ unsolved [Bm]
mysteries.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
If someone says they know [Bm] for certain, _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
they're selling _ something certain [D] to me.
_ So _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ when I set myself [F#m] to wonder _ _ _ on _ [D] _
_ all the questions that [G]
remain,
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
The only one that even [G]
matters _ _ is _ _ [A] _
_ when I'll see your face [D]
again.
_ _ _ _ I [Bm] keep _ looking [D] back [A] _ _ [D] _
for _ artifact to [A] _
_ _ prove that you were [D]
here.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] A sound that's bent, _ [F#m]
keeps _ _ echoing, _ _ [G] _
it never _ _ [A] disappears.
