Afinação - DADGAD
A Em D A
A pillow lays on cold cement, a blanket by a broken vent
Em D A
She’s there a while, and then she’s gone
Em D A
I’m away for weeks, arrive at night
Em D A
She hears my steps, turns off the light and runs
Em
No mind at all, more space than I need
D A Em D A
It’s just me among the weeds, among the ghosts, among the leaves
Em
We’ve never met but she’s a girl
D A
Romance paper books
Em D A
The floor is covered in long blonde curls
G F#
On afternoons I walk the graves
D A
The rusted cars, the mine shaft caves
Em D A
See a girl sadly unkempt, a child of neglect
G F#
Under moons I pass the tombs
D A
Cross the highways, smell the fumes
Em D A
See a girl frighteningly gaunt, somebody didn’t want
Em D A Em D A
How do I tell her I don’t care, if she sleeps downstairs?
A Em
I see her on my errand runs
D A Em D A
Looking nervous like a young Mia Farrow
Em
Walking ’long the gas stops
D A Em D A
Window browsing pawn shops, guns, bows and arrows
Em
Up on past the Halfway house
D A Em D A
Past the signs Eighty South, Buttercup and Carrows
Em
Drinking Wild Irish Rose
D A Em D A
At the dead end down the road, sleeping with the sparrows
G F#
When evening comes I play guitar
D A
For the planets and the stars
Em D A
I leave the porch light on like I do when I’m gone
G F#
Winter, spring, summer, fall
D A
Basement’s yours, have a ball
Em D A Em D A
There’s always room for you thereâ... really baby I don’t care
