So here we go...
Intro = G
G
We took a weekend, drove to Provo
C -Walk- G
The snow was white and fluffy
G
But a weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us
C
And the grey sky was vast and real cryptic above me
---
D C C -Walk- G
I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
---
G
We took 2 weeks in the Bahamas
C
Went out dancing every night
G
Tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things
C D
Most of the time I guess I felt alright
---
D C D C -Walk- G
But I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
G C
But you cannot run, And you cannot hide
G C D G
From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside
---
G
We went down to New Orleans
C
One weekend in the Spring
G
Looked hard for what we'd lost
C D
It was painful to admit it, but we couldn't find a thing
---
D C D C -Walk- G
And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
---
G
Went to New York City in September
C
Took a train out of Manhattan, to the Grand Army stop
G
Found that bench we'd sat together on a thousand years ago
C D
When I felt such love for you I thought my heart was gonna pop
---
D C D C -Walk- G D G
And I wanted you, to love me like you used to do
G C
But I cannot run, And I can't hide
G C D G
From the wreck we've made of our house, And the mess inside
---
Outro: G C G C G C D G C D G
