    The Mile After

C5
We pulled up; our coats on
         E5
Cause once we get out, it'll be
       A5         F5          G5
The only way we have of staying warm;
      C5
My thoughts were left at the back door;
       E5
You slipped on them , hit the wood floor
      A5          G5         F5
And foolishly, i helped you up;
       G5
And carried you to the stairs,
           A5            G5             F5
But they broke from the weight of our conversation;
    A5                G5          F5
We fell through the ground and into the basement;
A5       G5             F5
The laundry broke our fall;
     A5         G5             F5
Strategically placed because i planned on this the night before.

        C5
So you wait a few days
   F5
Before you take it off
         C5
Cause it all feels so strange
       F5
Without our pictures on your wall
        A5           G5
Because i belong to you
     C5            F5
And you belong to me
   F5           G5             C5
And thats the way it should be

          C5
We took off our coats
          E5
Cause we finally realized
          A5
That it's not the weather
      F5             G5
That was making us feel cold.
      C5
My thoughts still left at the back door
     E5
And you still bothering me for
      A5         G5               F5
Not looking you straight in the eyes,
         G5
But i'm not this time;
      A5                  G5           F5
So i looked right through you to the passing trees
      A5             G5
And focused on just one;
            F5
You asked 'why is everything
A5             G5    F5
So different after dark?'
   A5           G5
I told you this once, but
       F5
You took it with a grain of salt
