Intro-D
D
Back when your love was all that mattered
G
I watched my prairie dogs grow from fatter to fatter
A G D
and sat scared as your shadow chased me in
D
I thought about asking you for some change
G
or at least a different vocal range
A G D
as I watched your ghost go from black and white to thin
Chorus:
D A G
From black and white to thin, I watched your ghost transform
D A G
From black and white to thin, in the static we are born
D-A-G
D
There in the lines of a poem I wrote
G
that was all about your burnt raincoat
A G D
I couldn't stop wiping the dirt offa your face
D
and in between all those fuzzy words
G
was a simple message that never got heard
A G D
and I guess that's a poem that's better left erased
Chorus
D
Back before time got to be too much
G
and I was satisfied with your kisses touch
A G D
well I still walked around wearing my cowboy hat
D
but I traded in my spurs for a business suit
G
and your beauty for something this side of cute
A G D
and now I'm guessing I've always wanted that back
Chorus
