[Verse 1]
G              A             Bm               GBy the time you hear this, I'll be in the rearview mirror
G                A                   Bm               GI'll even wear that green dress you like so when I disappear
G                   A            Bm                AYou can turn around, one last look at the girl you lost in time
G                   A          Bm             GYour turn to make up your mind between the two roads
G                 A            Bm                GGo and take some more time, but me and mine must go


[Pre-Chorus]
G                     AI tried to wait it out, no more
     Bm                  ACan't find the man I was waiting for


[Chorus]
G                             AI wanted to be your girl in a white T-shirt
     D        GOver coffee, stirring in the cinnamon
G          A      Bm         DWhile you read me poetry by dead men
G                                  A                DI wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
GStirring in the cinnamon

G               A              Bm                  GBy the time you hear this, who knows where I might be
G                      A            Bm             GSinging 'bout another near-miss love that ended incomplete
G                AI was ready, but you weren't
    Bm                                DSo jump with your net from this bridge you burned
GI wanted to tell you things
 DAll the secrets I've been keeping
G                       A                                  DI saw it in front of me, but then you just kept disappearing

 G             DPoetry by dead men
A                            GFire from ember, how could I make you remember?
       Em               D           GWith a turn of a phrase, would you turn to me if I say
