*** verse 1: G One night in iowa, he and I in a borrowed car Em Went driving in the summer, promises in every star C(2) Out in the distance I could hear some people laughing Am I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness
*** verse 2: There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted g We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface em We thought just for an instant we could see the future
It's what he wants but he won't say He'd rather make-believe I want to say goodbye It's down to her although I know She never made him happy, now she makes him cry
He cannot work, he cannot think Beyond the guilt he has for leaving her alone I'm going down I cannot breathe He doesn't think to leave me anything at all
David denies that he'll ever change his mind (but he always changes) David denies - but he's left his love behind (left his love behind)
It's what he wants, I'm almost sure And I can hardly stand him saying it's not so And so I'll wait and so I'll hope Somehow I can convince him not to let me go

We're so close but I just can't Ruin everything I ever planned I've got no room for guilt this year I'm trying hard to keep my conscience clear And it's clear But he knows just what he wants today And I could just let it happen - yeah The more I think the worse I guess The more I guess the worse I am
(No, no, do not stay) There's no such thing as lover's day (Run, run, run away) There's no such thing as lover's day
I want to see him right up close I want to find out everything he knows But everything comes back to you There's no way to betray and still be true And it's true But he knows just what he wants today And I could just let it happen The more I think the worse I guess The more I guess the worse I am

Just for the record You ought to know that I love you 'Cause the damage that you've done I know you still could do So fun time is over And I guess it's enough Oh but just for the record It was a little too rough
All that night when I looked for you Without a word to say Knowing that I was looking through The longest night the longest day
Sleeping and waking is the hardest thing to do When you are taking every dream I had of you Sleeping and waking
Notes: ok - instead of trying to worry about the differences between G-->gsus, g-->c/g, and g-->am7/g I'm just calling it glick. The notes in the lick are (in order) g d g b c-c c b with The fifth and sixth tied. the second chord "fits" with any Of the three except that there isn't an "a" in it per se, But there does seem to be an "e". on the other hand it does Have the same "tone" as a c/g would have. so I'm punting! :-)
Same town as it's ever been If there's changes somewhere They've occurred from within Streets pass and hold up to me Every corner defined By the places you'd be
But no one is watching you now No one is watching you now Like I did
Even the longest of days You could make disappear By the look on your face
We used to drive into town And the eyes of the girls Followed you all around
But no one is watching you now I know no one is watching you now Like I did
Forty-eight hours pass And I'm longing to stay Forty-eight hours pass And watching you, watching you Is ages away
Something has torn me apart Oh but what do I care About watching my heart I know that sadness bleeds through And my sadness for me Is now sadness for you
'Cause no one is watching you now I know no one is watching you now No one is watching you now Like I did
I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind but I'm frightened of the things I might find Oh, there must be something he's thinking of to tear him away when I tell him that I'm falling in love why does he say hush hush keep it down now voices carry I try so hard not to get upset because I know all the trouble I'll get oh, he tells me tears are something to hide and something to fear and I try so hard to keep it inside so no one can hear hush hush keep it down now voices carry He wants me but only part of the time He wants me if he can keep me in line hush hush keep it down now voices carry hush hush, darling, she might overhear oh, no-voices carry he said shut up he said shut up oh God can't you keep it down voices carry I wish he would let me talk
There was a time You opened up every doorway You didn't mind if everything Wasn't your way Don't pull away That goes against what you told me I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold me
Is love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum
I think you've changed But you insist that That's not true You look so strange, so distant That you're hardly you Now I can see How you have been acting different You say it's me But I know
That it isn't It's love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum And that's not enough Love in a vacuum You will be lonely You'll be the only one who feels this way You will be lonely If you leave me alone You will be lonely You'll be the only one who feels this way It's just not enough And just wait You will be lonely Love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum And that's not enough Love in a vacuum
I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind but I'm frightened of the things I might find Oh, there must be something he's thinking of to tear him away when I tell him that I'm falling in love why does he say hush hush keep it down now voices carry I try so hard not to get upset because I know all the trouble I'll get oh, he tells me tears are something to hide and something to fear and I try so hard to keep it inside so no one can hear hush hush keep it down now voices carry He wants me but only part of the time He wants me if he can keep me in line hush hush keep it down now voices carry hush hush, darling, she might overhear oh, no-voices carry he said shut up he said shut up oh God can't you keep it down voices carry I wish he would let me talk

Something has torn me apart Oh but what do I care About watching my heart I know that sadness bleeds through And my sadness for me Is now sadness for you
'Cause no one is watching you now I know no one is watching you now No one is watching you now Like I did
You should take a walk But it's just the same wherever you go You just wish the ghost was gone So you make some calls But it's talking while you're wanting to go You're just ringing phones for fun You can always make a new excuse to cry But you don't have to use it on yourself
So why spend your sadness now Save it up for me on Sunday And why is lonely all you have When love is what you'll find on Sunday
You might guard your heart But it's awfully fun to have it broken Or at least to leave a bruise It becomes an art Though the rules of which are rarely spoken By the lucky ones who can choose So your pain becomes another souvenir And your souvenirs become your world
So why spend your sadness now Save it up for me on Sunday And why is lonely all you have When love is what you'll find on Sunday
Why spend your sadness now Save it up for me on Sunday And why is lonely all you have When love is what you'll find on Sunday
I'd like to take her home But no one walks where she does She goes into the cold Wearing two unmatched gloves
Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs) Maybe it's (something she works out alone) And if I don't hold her up Will she just fall down?
She says she feels fine She says she feels right at home But I can hear her cry When I leave the room, oh
Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs) Maybe it's (something she works out alone) And if I don't hold her up Will she just fall down?
Well, some essential part Is missing that I just can't replace I know that these things are a matter of grace
And on her birthday I'll Get a watch to keep her time And I'll stay up with her When she forgets to wind it
Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs) Maybe it's (something she works out alone) She says that (she only needs a change of heart) Too bad that (parts alone are not enough) And if I don't hold her up And if I don't hold her up And if I don't hold her up Will she just fall down?

Living on silence Living by the book You get it to a science Of living on one good look So put out all the fires And blow away the smoke I'm getting pretty tired Of living on hope
So what about love, baby What about making room for two What about love, baby What about you
Living on daydreams Walking in my sleep And nothing is as it seems When you're in so deep So put out all the fires And blow away the smoke Unless you're getting tired Of living on hope
So what about love, baby What about making room for two What about love, baby What about you
So what about love, baby What about making room for two What about love, baby What about you
Note: For some reason this isn't in tune... It's *sort* of between Ebm and Em, closer to Ebm... so.... Capo 1 - Ebm maps to Dm
