Between The Daylight And The Dark Chords by Mary Gauthier

_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well the grasses are swaying, _ sun's going down, _ [Abm] _ _
music's playing, you're weaving through town,
[A] pull into the driveway, _ _ _ call a [E] sitting pot, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ stare out of the windshield, out into the
world, [Abm] it was all for the love of a wayward girl _ [A] who left you with a second place smile
and a broken [B] _
heart. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] And the _ streetlights are starting to flicker to light, [Abm] they glow for
a minute, _ then they get bright, [A] _ _
fireflies light _ up, _ circle [B] and spark, _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] but there's nothing
really _ that you can do, [Abm] put your hands in your pockets, _ try to get through [A] the distance
_ [Gbm] _ [Dbm] [B] between the daylight _ and [E] the dark, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [E] _ [B] [E] and the front porch flag, _ _ lie themselves down [Abm] like
forgotten soldiers, _ and old wedding _ [A] gowns, and closets _ unopened, and graves without any
[E] _
_ As _ _ _ _ _ _ the night curtains lower, _ behind the rooftops, [Abm] _
shadows dance, _ _ cross the _ [A] sidewalks and ricochet
off of the houses like pieces [B] of art, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and [A] your mind is reeling, as the sky is changing,
[Abm] _
all you're feeling, and you're _ rearranging [A] the rest of your life, like the lines on an
old [B] sailor's chart,
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] you climb back in, _ _ fire the ignition, [Abm] put your hands on the wheel,
_ head into the _ [A] distance, the distance _ _ [B] between the daylight and _ [E] the dark. _ _ _ _ _
