Song

Intro : C Em G D

C
Memorize the bathwater
Em
Memorize the air
G
There'll come a time
D
I'll wanna know I was here
C
Names on the doorframes
Em
Inches and ages
G
Handprints in concrete
D
At the softest stages
C Em
I don't know why
G D
I don't try harder
C G
I feel like throwing
D
Towels into water
C
Get it down to nothing
G
Everything that matters
D
Fever flashes, eyelashes

And traffic patterns

C
Humidity, history
Em
Chemistry and panic
G
Swimsuits in windows
D
Of electric minivans
C Em
I don't know why
G D
I don't try harder
C Em
I've been going down some,
G D
Some strange water
C Em
Move forward now, there's nothing to do
G D
Can't turn around, I can't follow you
C G
Your coat's in my car I guess you forgot
D
It's crazy the things we let go of

Chorus :

C G
It finally hits me, a mile's drive
D
The sky is leaking, my windshield's crying
C G
I'm feeling sacred, my soul is stripped
D
Radio's painful, the words are clipped
C G
The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
D
My car is creeping, I think it's dying
C G
I'm pulling over, until it heals
D
I'm on a shoulder, of lemon fields

Interlude : Am Em G D

Am Em
What was I even leaving for
G D
I keep going back and forth
Am Em
I think now I'm about to see
G D
Didn't know how sad it'd be
C
Memorize the bathwater
Em
Memorize the air
G
There'll come a time
D
I'll wanna know I was here
C
Names on the doorframes
Em
Inches and ages
G
Handprints in concrete,
D
At the softest stages
C Em
I don't know why
G D
I don't try harder
C Em
I feel like throwing
G D
Towels into water
C G
Move forward now, there's nothing to do
D
Can't turn around, I can't follow you
C G
Your coat's in my car I guess you forgot
D
It's crazy the things we let go of

Chorus :

C G
It finally hits me, a mile's drive
D
The sky is leaking, my windshield's crying
C G
I'm feeling sacred, my soul is stripped
D
Radio's painful, the words are clipped
C G
The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
D
My car is creeping, I think it's dying
C G
I'm pulling over, until it heals
D
I'm on a shoulder, of lemon fields
C G
The grief it gets me, the weird goodbyes
D
My car is creeping, I think it's dying
C G
I'm pulling over, until it heals
D
I'm on a shoulder, of lemon fields
