F
Time takes care of the wound
So I can believe
You had so much to give
You thought I couldn't see
Gifts for boot heels to crush
Promises deceived
G#                A#
I had to send it away
     F
To bring us back again

F
Your eyes and body brighten
Silent waters, deep
Your precious daughter in the
Other room, asleep
A kiss "goodnight" from every
Stranger that I meet
G#         D# 
I had to send it away
     F
To bring us back again

 G#                                C#maj7  A# 
Morning theft, unpretender left, ungrateful

D#maj7              Dm
True self is what brought you here to me
    Am                 Gm         Dm
A place where we can accept this love
D#maj7                      Dm
Friendship battered down by useless history
    Am      Gm   Dm
Unexamined failure

F               F        F 
But what am I still to you?
 F               F          F 
Some thief who stole from you?
Dm              C
Or, some fool drama queen
        A#
whose chances were few?

Love brings us to who we need
A place where we can save
A heart that beats as
Both siphon and reservoir

You're a woman, I'm a calf
You're a window, I'm a knife
We come together
Making chance in the starlight

           F            F   F 
Meet me tomorrow night
        F           F   F 
or any day you want
   Dm               C           A#
I have no right to wonder just how, or when
              F           F   F 
You know the meaning fits
              F           F   F 
there's no relief in this
Dm       C            A#
I miss my beautiful friend
G#        A#               F
I had to send it away to bring her back again
