Tuning: Standard Capo on 5th fret. Intro: C, G, Am, F
OCur friends on the fGront porch, well they're telling jokes and they sAmwing swiftly towards hFappier times ECxpending lines and fGinding more energy for the eAmffort and getting distanceF from that front porch spotlight BCut us we foGund peace in shadowAms long enough to sFee the monsters rise CCandy's got some spacGe to fill in her dAmaydream living high on yFesterday's lies TCalking to me about some G0% intAmerest and how she got a bFetter deal than the next guy AAmnd the Am7way the lightning shocked uAms when we were Dlost and we were looking DAmown that lAm7ong Missouri highwayAm your hair was longer then and nowD I can remember Say Fnow I remember oh so well

(Repeat Verse Chord Pattern) Well its not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time Unchanged when its not the same beginning or along awaited end If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture, So I'm told little sister So now I'm sold little sister Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden and the laws of Eden And how you were the rock of Gibraltar, and how they called you foxy Well that's another whole box of pandora's, That's another whole box of them ties Slide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the median Right back into the median, the median lo-oh It separates, our house from the middle of the street It separates our house from the middle of the street Talking about our house Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and getting distance from that front porch Spotlight But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster die. We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough and just so long. Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it long enough? Is it long enough for me? Long enough for me to chew on. If it isn't... if it isn't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't then it wont. And that's just the way that it goes.
