Intro: Am7 Am7 Em7 Em7 Dm7 Am7 
 
verse 
 
Am7 
Can't help seeking corners 
    Em     Em7     Em 
Of dark and dead end rooms 
           Dm7 
Where the drinks keep pouring down 
          Am7 
And the candles keep me warm 
 
C 
Isolation tenders 
          Em    Em7     Em 
Something fragile coming soon 
        Dm7                      Am7 
Skinny angels making eyes at cameras 
                
Perched in every room 
 
C                        Em7* 
I had a good run playing horses in my mind 
          Fmaj7 
Left my heart out somewhere running 
         Am7 
Wanting strangers to be mine 
C 
Memory's a sacred meat 
  Em7* 
That's drying all the time 
    Fmaj7 
On a hillside I remember 
   Am7 
I am loving losing life 
 
Verse 
 
Am7 
Strawberries in springtime 
     Em  Em7  Em 
Pretty happy accidents 
     Dm7 
My awareness that I'm lucky 
        Am7 
Rolling clouds over cement 
 
 Am7 
Maybe there's a screenplay 
        Em   Em7     Em 
Or a bathroom I can hide 
            Dm7 
Down the hallways of a high school 
          Am7 
And the dances left behind 
 
 C                       Em7* 
I had a good run playing horses in my mind 
        Fmaj7 
Left my heart out somewhere running 
          Am7 
Wanting strangers to be mine 
Am7 
I would climb the Eiffel Tower 
       Em7* 
Write letters on the sky 
         Dm7                         Am7 
How many turns it took to reach you 
 
  solo 
 
Am7  Am7  Em7   Dm7  Am7 Am7  Em7   Dm7   Am7 
 
 
Outro 
 
C                        Em7* 
I had a good run playing horses in my mind 
     Fmaj7 
On a hillside I remember 
Am7 
I am loving losing life
