[Verse 1]
C G
Oh, Aliza I remember you well
C G
Your cotton dress and the way your hair fell
C G
And you were sitting on the swing behind the barn
Fmaj7 G Am
You said the world can have it's bad dreams
Fmaj7 G Am
And the worst in this life can all be true
Fmaj7 G C
Just as long as I've got you
[Verse 2]
C G
And you cried out and held onto my shirt
C G
When I told you I was leaving town
C G
And that the world was just too big to turn down
Fmaj7 G Am
Oh, I left on a dead man's horse
Fmaj7 G Am
Desperate to fight in a dead man's wars
Fmaj7 G C
And too afraid to stay and fight my own
[Chorus]
C G
And I ran east until it turned into west
C G
I walked the gravel, to the snow, to the sea
C G
But I found nothing that could look back at me
C G
No, I found nothing that could look back at me
Fmaj7 G Am
And I'm as empty as the day I left
Fmaj7 G Am
I had to run the whole world around
Fmaj7 G C
Before I drowned in what I'd never found
[Verse 3]
C G
I got back to town on a Friday night
C G
And saw you dancing with an empty, smiling man
C G
You had him spinning in the palm of your hand
Fmaj7 G Am
I guess the best way to hide your eyes
Fmaj7 G Am
Is to give them to someone who doesn't know
Fmaj7 G C
If they're open or if they're closed
[Verse 4]
C G
And I don't know how long I'm gunna stay
C G
I just came back to see if you felt the same as me
C G
An empty hole where you and I used to be
Fmaj7 G Am
Oh, I'm here but I'll go if you'd like
Fmaj7 G Am
I love you still, but I'll be gone if you'd like
Fmaj7 G C
Oh I'm here, but I'll go if you'd like
[Chorus]
C G
And I ran east until it turned into west
C G
I walked the gravel, to the snow, to the sea
C G
But I found nothing that could look back at me
C G
No, I found nothing that could look back at me
Fmaj7 G Am
And I'm as empty as the day I left
Fmaj7 G Am
I had to run the whole world through
Fmaj7 G C
Before I came back home to you
