verse 1:

C   E7                Am

the neighbour’s cat’s gone missing

C     E7        Fmaj7

the butcher lost his cleave

C   E7                Am

the skin on your cheek’s all patchy

C     E7        Fmaj7

i dug up some excuse’s grave

C   E7                Am

your letter sits unopened

C     E7        Fmaj7

on the counter in my foyer

C   E7                Am

next to my grandpa’s rainboots

C     E7        Fmaj7

the ones he let you borrow last year

chorus:

F     Em     Am

how could i ever ask you

          Dm           F

im not sure you should even want to 

        G         C Am

take the wheel and go down that road

F Em    

run out of bait

         Am           Dm

just throwing out an empty line into the lake

       Em                    E7     C

remember when we rowed here in sixth grade and you dropped your oar

              G7

can see it all

C   E7    Am

C  E7  Fmaj7

verse 2:

C   E7     Am

footprints on the sun soaked front lawn

C              E7         Fmaj7

follow the path right to my window

C   E7     Am

someone’s brother met you downtown

C              E7         Fmaj7

my sister asks if you’ll be at my next show

C   E7     Am

took the bus down to the centre

C              E7         Fmaj7

when the weather couldn’t get much colder

C   E7     Am

fogged up glass from night of no sleep

C              E7         Fmaj7

an empty space missing a shoulder

chorus:

F     Em     Am

how could i ever ask you

          Dm          F

im not sure you could even answer 

                        G          C Am

if i knocked on your door, would you even be home?

F Em    

run out of bait

         Am           Dm

just throwing out an empty line into the lake

       Em                    E7     C

remember when we rowed here in sixth grade and you dropped your oar

              G7

can see it all

C   E7    Am
