                    G
Can I call you sometime?
                   Am7
Talk it out on the phone
                     D7  
We don't have to be lovers
                  C 
We could be less alone
                    G 
It's a rough rocky road
                        C
And it's going to get steep
                   Bm7
I just wanted your soft tone
                Am
To allow me to sleep

Chorus:
                    Am   D
And I sometimes confuse you for
 G     Em
God or angel
 C      D      G    G7
You're just a person
                     Am
And I'm sometimes confused
D       G          Em
I got glory in my mind
    C    Am       D   Dsus4 D
A soft summer unwinds

I just want you to know,
all your problems are mine
I will breathe them like fire smoke,
I will make us divine
Underneath your thin skin,
we are prophets on hold
Elemental disciples waiting
for our time to unfold

Chorus:
And I sometimes confuse you for
God or angel
You're just a person
And I'm sometimes confused,
I got glory in my mind
A soft summer unwinds

              Em         D
And I dreamt about you breathing
      C                     G
We're all in thrall to the past
              Em        D
And I dreamt about you leaving
 C                  Gmaj7
Living in the same house
         Cmaj7
You kiss awkward
Gmaj7          Cmaj7
Lips dried and closed
Fmaj7      A#maj7
He was the first one
    Fmaj7
You cared for
   A#maj7      A
It lasted for years
                C                 Gmaj7
And I close my eyes, to see you again
                C                 Gmaj7
And I close my eyes, to see you again

Chorus:
And I sometimes confuse you for
God or angel
You're just a person
And I'm sometimes confused,
I got glory in my mind
A soft summer unwinds

And I sometimes confuse you for
God or angel
You're just a person
And I'm sometimes confused,
I got glory in my mind
