Skeleton Key Cifras

[Verse 1]
E                            G#
Half asleep with the sun coming up out east
                   F#                           B             F#        E
We're driving down Garfield Ave when you said a strange and significant thing
                  G#                            F#
I can remember the words - "this was a beautiful night
                        B           F#
It won't, it won't ever happen this way again"
 
[Pre-chorus]
E                         B
No, my dear, nothing much grows around here
             F#                         G#               F#
We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided
E                           B                           F#
Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took
                  G#         F#          E
The setting can't be nowhere else in the world
 
[Chorus]
        B
And the story opens up with you
                       G#    F#
Your broken dreams and cheap perfume
            E
You're on a city bus, the rain it falls
                         F#      G#
Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls
      B
And I stumble on from Uptown bars
                        G#     F#
I guess that's all I've got so far
                 E
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how
                    F#      G#
You save me and you save yourself
 
[Verse 2]
E                                  G#
It ends so soon, the night and the fading moon
              F#                           B           F#
I put my hand inside yours, the city looks strange and significant
  E                                        G#
I know these streets, the place where I'll live and die
                 F#                         B            F#
Resigned to that fact, but I, I'm hoping it happens this way again
 
[Pre-chorus]
E                         B
No, my dear, nothing much grows around here
             F#                         G#               F#
We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided
E                           B                           F#
Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took
                  G#         F#          E
The setting can't be nowhere else in the world
 
[Chorus]
        B
And the story opens up with you
                       G#    F#
Your broken dreams and cheap perfume
            E
You're on a city bus, the rain it falls
                         F#      G#

                        G#     F#

                 E
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how
                F#       G#
You save me and then you save yourself
 
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
        B

                       G#    F#

Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how
                F#       G#            E
You save me and then you save yourself
 
[Outro]
B
Fall asleep to the radio
G#
Try to keep what I got from you
F#                         E
Hard to do in these dreary days
