Swiftly towards happier times 
   F                    C                          Dm7 
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and 
                    A# 
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight 
F                 C                Dm7           A# 
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see the monsters rise 
F               C                        Dm7

Dm       Dm7M                     Dm7               Dm6 
And the way the lightning shocked us when we were lost and 
Dm                Dm7M                       Dm7 
Looking down that long missouri highway your hair was longer

                               A# 
Matches thru my miracle mile mind

Mine only brushes your soft surface 
F                C          Dm7                     A# 
And somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips 

Oh yes 
F        C                    Dm7                         A#

And the way the truth it locked us right about the time after 
              Dm7        Dm6 
The lightning shocked us 
             Dm Dm7M          Dm7 Dm6 
When we were young and missing 
Dm          Dm7M                         Dm7 
Round that small new england byway our lives they were sheltered 
         Dm6           Bb7

Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time 
                   C 
Unchanged when its not the same beginning 
    Dm7             A#                   F 
Or along awaited end.. if i knew all the words i would write
