Now  that I know  what I’d hoped had  to be in
mind  was true  and refused  and just  in time
 Do you  wonder why?
It  seems I let  up with the dents  of a near-collision.
 I couldn’t call  and wrecked  and turned  up missing.
But  until then
 I’m  cutting to the end
 it’s  cold in the  light
 the one we never  seemed to find
 I opened the door  instead,
 "
 But you  knew the  lock
 and the way  I was looking
 and still not a thing  was said
I  guess I can show  that I thought  I’d never
 have you long
 it’s a wall  that you feel  but you’re already  slipping
 and  away you slide
 can  you take the  ride
what  did it  mean when we  stood
 with our building  slanted high
 and we spoke of harder  times
I  pulled the  rafters down
 but the ghosts  were only dropping
 and honey since  that night

[E]Now that I [F#11]know what I’d [Asus2]hoped [Bsus4]had to be in
[E]mind was [F#11]true and r[Asus2]efused and ju[Bsus4]st in time
Do you[Asus2] wonder [Bsus4]why?
[E]It seems I let[F#11] up with the d[Asus2]ents of a [Bsus4]near-collision.
[E] I couldn’t [F#11]call and w[Asus2]recked and t[Bsus4]urned up missing.

[Asus2]But until t[Bsus4]hen
I[Asus2]’m cutting to the [Bsus4]end
it’[C#m]s cold in the[Bsus4] light [Asus2]
the one we ne[Bsus4]ver seemed to f[C#m]ind
I opened the [Bsus4]door instead,

[C#m] [Bsus4]  [Asus2] [Bsus4] [C#m] " [Bsus4]

But [C#m]you knew the[Bsus4] lock  [Asus2]
and the [Bsus4]way I was looking[C#m]
and still not a [Bsus4]thing was said

[E]I guess I can [F#11]show that I [Asus2]thought I’d [Bsus4]never
have you l[E]ong
it’s a [F#11]wall that you [Asus2]feel but you’re [Bsus4]already slipping

but the [Bsus4]ghosts were only [C#m]dropping
and honey [Bsus4]since that night
