Gm        Eb
  Take me somewhere where

  And we count the seasons

by the corners of your bed

blankets once again

Bb                Cm
promise that I'll break

And I know every minute

feels like it's a week
   Gm               Eb
So hang the picture frames
          Bb
along the walls so you
    Cm      Gm
can see The glossy paper
Eb          Bb
memories of nights you
       F
didn't have to wait on me
And that's how we'll stay

You're the home that I saw
            Bb
through the woods from
                D      Gm
the side of the highway
            Eb
And the dim glow of your
                   Bb
lights through the trees
              D
still make it harder

and harder to leave
