(G) = continue chord from previous section
 
[Intro]
G  C  G  D
Em  C  G
 
[Verse 1]
          G
Where the earth shows its bones of wind-broken stone
         D
And the sea and the sky are one
     Am                      C
I'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wine
         D                     D C
And I'm running naked in the sun
         G
There's God in the trees, I'm weak in the knees
         D
And the sky is a painful blue
     Am                       C          D        G
I'd like to look around, but Honey, all I see is you
 
[Interlude]
(G) C  G  D
 
[Verse 2]
         C
Now the summer city lights will soften the night
            D
'Til you'd think that the air is clear
         Am                          C
And I'm sitting with friends, where forty-five cents
      D                      D C
Will buy another glass of beer
          G
He's got something to say, but I'm so far away
        D
That I don't know who I'm talking to
                 Am                      C          D        G
'Cause you just walked in the door, and Honey, all I see is you
 
[Chorus]
       C                                           G
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
                C                      G
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
         Am                        D
Ah, but Honey, what the hell's it for?
       C
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
   G              C        G
A way to let you know somehow
        Am                            D                  G
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now
 
(G) C  G  D
 Em  C  G
 
[Verse 3]
     G
So alone in the lights on stage every night
           D
I've been reaching out to find a friend
      Am                  C
Who knows all the words, sings so she's heard
      D                          D C
And knows how all the stories end
      G
Maybe after the show she'll ask me to go
        D
Home with her for a drink or two
         Am                         C          D        G
Now her smile lights her eyes, but Honey, all I see is you
 
[Chorus]
       C                                           G
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
                C                      G
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
         Am                        D
Ah, but Honey, what the hell's it for?
       C
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
   G
A way to let you know somehow
        Am                            D                  G
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now
 
   C                                           G
I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
                C                      G
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
          Am                       D
Ah, but Honey, what the hell's it for?
       C
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
   G
A way to let you know somehow
        Am                            D               G
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now
 
[Outro]
(G) C  G  D
 
        Am                            D                  G
Yes, I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now
