Forty-five Years Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Where the EGarth show it bones of wind broken stone

 and the sD/F♯ea and the sky are one

 I'm cAmaught out of time, my blCood sings with wine

 and I'm ruD/F♯nning naked in the sun

 There's GGod in the trees, I'm weak in the knees

 and the D/F♯sky is a painful blue

 I'd lAmike to look around, but HConey all I D/F♯see is yoGu.

Chorus

 Intro to chorus is G-C-G-D/F♯

 And I jCust want to hold you closer than I've ever hGeld anyoCne before G

 You say you've Cbeen twice a wife and you're tGhrough with life

 Ah but AmHoney what the Am/Ghell's it foD/F♯r

 After twCenty-three years you'ld think I could find a wayG

 to let you kCnow somehow G

 That I wAmant to see your smAm/Giling face D/F♯forty five years froGm now.

 The suGmmer city lights will soften the night

 'Til you'dD think that the air is clear

 And I'm sAmitting with friends where forCty-five cents

 Will bDuy another glass of beer

 He's got somGething to say, but I'm so far away

 That I doDn't know who I'm talking to

 'Cause yoAmu just walked in the door, and CHoney, All I sDee is yGou.

To Chorus

 So alonGe in the lights on stage every night

 I've been reaD/F♯ching out to find a friend

 Who knAmows all the words, sCings so she's heard

 And kD/F♯nows how all the stories end

 Maybe aGfter the show she'1l ask me to go

 Home wD/F♯ith her for a drink or two

 Now her sAmmile lights her eyes, but HConey, all I sD/F♯ee is yGou.
