Intro: F, C, Dm, Bb
FC Our friends on the front porch,
 well they're telling jokes and they 
DmBb swing swiftly towards happier times
FCDm Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort
Bb and getting distance from that front porch spotlight
FCDm But us we found peace in shadows
Bb long enough to see the monsters rise
FCDm Candy's got some space to fill in her daydream
Bb living high on yesterday's lies
FCDm Talking to me about some 0% interest and
Bb how she got a better deal than the next guy
DmDm7Dm And the way the lightning shocked us
G when we were lost and we were looking
DmDm7Dm Down that long Missouri highway your hair was longer
G then and now I can remember
Bb Say now I remember oh so well
FC Oh the roads unencumbered by cats
Dm they're burning like wet matches
Bb through my miracle mile mind
FC You left your thumbprint inside me now
Dm for months it seems but mine
Bb only brushes your soft surface
And somehow 
FC Somehow it leaves me listless
DmBb my tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes
FCDmBb So I can't speak to tell you of the months before I met you
DmDm7Dm And the way, oh the truth it locked us
Dm7Dm Oh right about the time after the lightning shocked us
Dm7Dm When we were young, when we were young and missing
Dm7DmG Round that small New England byway our lives they were sheltered then and now I can remember
Bb Say now well I remember oh so well, almost too well
 
Verse: F, C, Dm, Bb Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down
Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
