Shed never stared too long at distant lights
G                      C                G     G   
She always kept the ones here close and bright

She met me in the darkness, reached out for my hand and said goodnight

G                       C              G   G
She?s constant like the ringing in my ears

          D                Am     D                 Am              G
She?s the New York City skyline bound to catch the heavens if they fall

G                     C                  G   G
She never signed her paintings with her name
G                 C                      G   G
She surrendered I love yous with bitter shame

She echoed in the season and filled me with her sweet Italian rain

She's burning like the fires of the sun

I see her wrapping ribbons somewhere down the hall
   Bm                    Am      Bm                Am              G C G 
She's a million simple answers waiting for your midnight drunken call

She's the memory of something you can feel

She's hidden in the world that she conceals
       Bm                  Am      Bm          Am                  G C G

G                    C             G
She never shows the color of her eyes
G                    C             G
She's far away but closer than the sky
   Bm              Am       Bm              Am                  G C G
Im waiting in her footsteps if shes not the truth I'll take the lie

She's a water colored window far across the sea
       Bm              Am      Bm             Am                G C G
She's a burning neon spotlight shining on the things I cannot leave

   G                 C                 G  G
she never turns the light out for the moon
   G                 C                 G  G
she always shows up late when im too soon
          Bm             Am     Bm               Am             G C G   
She's the harmony in whisper singing along with all my sappy tunes

She's all the reasons why you run away

I see her in the bedroom sleeping next to me
  D                     Am       D                    Am
She's enough grace and wisdom to set the whole world free
        D              Am      D             Am 
She's staring at the shadows dancing on the wall
