From the Til Tuesday album "Welcome Home" from 1986
Capo 1
C / G . . . .
G
One night (wouldn't have a clue)
He and I in a borrowed car
Em
Went driving in the summer
Promises at every stop
C
Out in the distant I could
Hear some people laughing
Am
I felt my heartbeat fast
G
A weekends' worth of sadness
G
There was a farm house
That had long since been deserted
Em
We stopped and carved our thoughts
Into the wooden surface
C
I thought just for an instant
We could see the future
Am
We thought for once we knew
G
What really was important
G C
Coming up close
Everything sounds like
G
'Welcome Home'
C
Come home
G
And 'Oh by the way'
G
Don't you know that I could make a dream
That's barely half the way?
C
Come true
G
I wanted to say
That anything I could have said
Am C
about some moment you already knew
instr. verse
G
We got back in the car
And listened to a Dylan tape
Em
We drove around the fields
Until it started getting late
C
I went back to my hotel room
On the highway
Am
And he just got back in his car
G
And drove away
G C
Coming up close
Everything sounds like
G
'Welcome Home'
C
Come home
G
And 'Oh by the way'
G
Don't you know that I could make a dream
That's barely half the way?
C
Come true
G
I wanted to say
That anything I could have said
Am C
about some moment you already knew
C / G . . . .
