[Verse 1]
Em D Cmaj7
You were waiting on the corner
G D Am7
For a bus that never showed
Em D Cmaj7
You saw the likeness of your father
G D Am7
Floating high above the road
Em D Cmaj7
But you'd been drinking when you saw him
G D Am7
And your mind was moving slow
Em D Cmaj7
Like your ears were full of cotton
G D Am7
So what he said you'll never know
Em D Cmaj7
Later on out on the water
G D Am7
You felt a presence in your boat
Em D Cmaj7
Hit the lights and killed the motor
G D Am7
Only to find yourself alone
Em D Cmaj7
So you fumbled through your pockets
G D Am7
Hoping you could find a smoke
Em D Cmaj7
Wondered how you're still hungover
G D Am7
From what you drank three nights ago
[Chorus]
C G D
Coming down
Am
There's a dim light
C G D
A narrow sound
Am
Opening wide
C G D
Getting loud
Am
Getting real quiet
C G D
Slipping out
Am
Slipping in like
C G D A
A tongue
[Interlude]
C G D A 2x
[Verse 2]
Em D Cmaj7
I went walking in my dress shoes
G D Am7
I left my wallet and my phone
Em D Cmaj7
But I lost track of my direction
G D Am7
Caught in the rain on my way home
Em D Cmaj7
I'm not sure what I was expecting
G D Am7
I guess I really should have known
Em D Cmaj7
I'd find you right there where I left you
G D Am7
That I could never be alone
[Chorus]
C G D
Coming down
Am
There's a bright light
C G D
A gentle sound
Am
Opening wide
C G D
Getting loud
Am
Or staying real quiet
C G D
Slipping out
Am
Slipping in like
C G D Am
You've done
C G D Am
