Intro
[Gmaj7] Now pretty babe I'm running back home to [Cmaj7] you
[Gmaj7] Fresh out the slammer I know who my first call will be [Cmaj7] to
[Gmaj7] Fresh out the slammer, oh
Verse 1
[Gmaj7] Another summer takin' cover [Em7] rolling thunder
[Cmaj7] He don't understand me [G]
[Gmaj7] Splintered back in winter silent [Em7] dinners, bitter
[Cmaj7] He was with her in dreams [G]
Pre-Chorus
[Gmaj7] Grey and blue and fights in tunnels
[Em7] Handcuffed to the spell I was under
[Cmaj7] For just one hour of [G] sunshine
[Gmaj7] Years of labor, locks, and ceilings
[Em7] In the shade of how I was feeling
[Cmaj7] But it's gonna be alright, I [G] did my time
Chorus
[Gmaj7] Now pretty babe I'm runnin' back home to [Cmaj7] you

[G] [C] [Em] [C]
Verse 2
[G] Morning, his place, burnt toast, sunday
[C] You keep his shirt he keeps his word
[Em] And for once you let go, of your fears and your ghosts
[C] One step, not much, but it said enough
[G] You kiss on sidewalks, you fight and you talk
[C] One night he wakes, strange look on his face
[Em] Pauses then says, you're my best friend
[C] And you know what is was, he is in love
Chorus
[G] You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
[C] You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
[Em] You can feel it will the lights out, lights out, you are in love
[C] True love, you are in love!
[G] [C] [Em] oh, oh [C]
Bridge
And so it [G] goes
[G] You two are dancing in a snowglobe round in round
[C] And he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown
[Em] And know you understand now why they
lost their minds and fought the wars
[C] And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words
Pre-Chorus
[G] 'Cause you can hear it in the silence
[C] You can feel it on the way home
[Em] You can see it with the lights out
You are in [C] love, true love
You are in [G] love!
Chorus
[G] You can hear it in the silence, silence, you
[C] You can feel it on the way home, way home, you
[Em] You can feel it with the lights out, lights out
You are in [C] love, true love
Chorus 2
[Gmaj7] And now pretty pretty baby I'm running back home to [Cmaj7] you

Bridge 2
[Em7] I'm runnin', to the [Cmaj7] house we
still wait up in that porch light [G] gleams
To the [Gmaj7] one who says I'm the girl of his [Em7] American dreams
And no [Cmaj7] matter what I've done it wouldn't matter anyway
Ain't no [G] way I'm gonna screw up now that I know what's at [Gmaj7] steak, here
At the park [Em7] where we used to sit on [Em7] childrens swings
[G] Wearing imaginary rings
