From Golden Age of Radio
Words and music by Josh Ritter

Capo 3 Intro:

Pause, then go into fingerpicked melody which continues throughout the song:
Approximate G formation, but finger on low E string moves from 3rd fret to 2nd, to open string, and then 0^2. If anyone has more specific tabbing, let me know...

If I could trace the lines that ran
Between your smile and your sleight of hand
I would guess that you put something up my sleeve
Now every time I see your face the bells ring in a far-off place
We can find eachother this way I beleive

From the hills and up behind my town
Is naked from the horizon down
The curvature is pressed against the raise
We walked up in the fields alone
And the silence fell just like a stone
That got lost in the wild blue and the gravel gray

Come and find me now
Come and find me now

Though I'm here in this far-off place
My air is not this time and space
I draw you close with every breath
You don't know it's right until it's wrong
You don't know it's yours until it's gone
I didn't know that it was home 'til you up and left

Come and find me now
Come and find me now

I keep you in a flower vase
Your fatalism and your crooked face
With the daisies and the violet brocades
And I keep me in a vacant lot
In the ivy and forget-me-nots
Hoping you will come and untangle me one of these days

Come and find me now
Come and find me now

Finish with soft down strum on G
