  {t:Forty-Five Years}

  {st:Stan Rogers}

  {c:Capo 3rd fret}

  

  Where the E[G]arth show it bones of wind broken stone

  and the s[D/F#]ea and the sky are one

  I'm c[Am]aught out of time, my bl[C]ood sings with wine

  and I'm ru[D/F#]nning naked in the sun

  There's G[G]od in the trees, I'm weak in the knees

  and the [D/F#]sky is a painful blue

  I'd l[Am]ike to look around, but H[C]oney all I [D/F#]see is yo[G]u.

  

  {c:CHORUS}

  Intro to chorus is G-C-G-D/F#

  And I j[C]ust want to hold you closer than I've ever h[G]eld anyo[C]ne before[G]

  You say you've [C]been twice a wife and you're t[G]hrough with life

  Ah but [Am]Honey what the [Am/G]hell's it fo[D/F#]r

  After tw[C]enty-three years you'ld think I could find a way[G]

  to let you k[C]now somehow[G]

  That I w[Am]ant to see your sm[Am/G]iling face [D/F#]forty five years fro[G]m now.

  

  The su[G]mmer city lights will soften the night

  'Til you'd[D] think that the air is clear 

  And I'm s[Am]itting with friends where for[C]ty-five cents

  Will b[D]uy another glass of beer

  He's got som[G]ething to say, but I'm so far away

  That I do[D]n't know who I'm talking to

  'Cause yo[Am]u just walked in the door, and [C]Honey, All I s[D]ee is y[G]ou.

  

  {c:To Chorus}

  So alon[G]e in the lights on stage every night

  I've been rea[D/F#]ching out to find a friend

  Who kn[Am]ows all the words, s[C]ings so she's heard

  And k[D/F#]nows how all the stories end

  Maybe a[G]fter the show she'1l ask me to go

  Home w[D/F#]ith her for a drink or two

  Now her s[Am]mile lights her eyes, but H[C]oney, all I s[D/F#]ee is y[G]ou.
