Intro: C C/B C/A F G

               C
All of these grateful looks
       	    C/A
All these grateful eyes
	F	                 G
All the furious stares and the fretful sighs
          C             
Promising everything
   C/A
To everyone
      F
We'll be back soon
           G
You're my favorite one

                  C
And I'll keep it quiet
               C/A
I'll hold you dear
       F                 G
Your whisperin fills the ear

               C
Tell me you'll stay
                   C/A
We would have such fun
       F                       G
And a lie, you don't need anyone

           F                         G
And the screams, the wails, and the call
     C     C/B       C/A
The headiness of the Fall
              F                   G
Ten-thousand miles from where we began
          C           C/B        C/A
I fell asleep with a picture in hand
       F G              C
It was all       for a woman

	C	                      C/A
You say that you're grateful for the time alone
     F                G
Two years away and I don't miss home
             C                      C/A	
And everyone asks you if you still think of her
    F                      G
So you smile politely and you demur


            C                        C/A
But then all at once your head starts to swell
             F                        G
And you can feel her breath on your skin
               C                   C/A
If I let you stay, the same spot today
       F                       G
She's above you, below you in ways


             F
And you're shiverin cold
             G
Like you're just 10 years old
           C      C/B          C/A
And she's lying asleep in your bed

             F  
And you're standing beside her
     G
The light from inside her
        C       C/B              C/A
Filling up the darkness in your head
       F  G            C
It was all      for a woman


             F
And you've drowned in the teasing
           G
You've forgotten the reason
     C      C/B       C/A
The muse inspired the art
           F
You'd give anything for
        G
Her to say them once more
     C           C/B           C/A
The words you believed at the start
              F                     G
Ten-thousand miles from where it began
          C           C/B         C/A
Falling asleep with a picture in hand
           F             G
And it was all... it was all
         C   C/B    C/A
For the look in her eyes
         F             G             C
Of the promise of the light    of a woman
