finger picking
verse-
E
So the wind that blows across your room,
A                                                           E
Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser.

It aimed for jewelry and for credit cards,
A                                              E
Two tickets to a film I don't remember.
     A
Oh one day you'll kiss your rabbits's nose,
                                                                           E
Pick up the phone to find I've been turned over.
A
You grab that piece of gold only to find,
                                                       E
That the smell has taken over.
                                                  A                             
    B7
Now all the things you have, they aren't the same,
                                 E
As what you hold.

                                                                               A
I'm now standing in a room that's filed with older folks,
                                                E
And they're bleeding baby, listen.

And I scream as loud as anyone,
                   A                                          E
But when asked to make a point I tend to whisper.
        A
And now highways turn to tidal waves,
                                                                        E
They're asking me to explore all of your insecurities.
A
But that wind that blows across your room is gonna set the sail,
                                 E             B7
Send me back for you.

E
Sometimes when sailors are sailing,
         A                                                                      
        E
They think twice about where they're anchoring in.
                                                    A
I think I could make better use of my time on land.
    E                                                                      A
I drink less cause Lord knows I could use a warm kiss,
                                                 B7
Instead of a cold goodbye.
								   A
I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,

"Hey I, yeah I'm doing alright."

Well it's a shame what your father did to your brother's head,
                                                                       i
And he smashed it with a telephone.
           i
Your mother got scared and locked the door,
                                                                                 ii
You were only four but Lord you remember it.

So now you're scared of love.
                                                                                                ii
I'm here to tell ya love just ain't some blood on the reciever.

Love is speaking in code, it's an inside joke.
                            E5
Love is coming home.
