C#5 D5 A        A         C#5        A
        We both dreamed a white fence

[Verse 1]
Would wrap our front yard
       C#5  D5   A
How my arms have held you all these years
                  C#5 D5 A
Now I wake in the morning
And roll to find you
         C#5 D5   A
Damn you sunshine and the shadows you make

[Chorus]
F#m                    A
   If you don’t love me anymore
               D
If you don’t love,
                           Bmadd11
you don’t love me anymore
F#m         A                  D
   I’m gonna go out knowing I tried.

I had a daughter as tall as I am In my sleep
D5 A
I  see the craziest things
     C#5      D5 A
Over her shoulder I saw you smiling
                   C#5    D5 A
Now I don’t want to wake   up and it fades

[Interlude]
A D A E
A                                   E         A
 When I’d swim in the ocean I’d miss your skin
                         D
So fair the summer would burn it
A
 When I’d hike up a mountain
      E         A
I’d miss your smile
                               Bm
You’d love the view from the top of it
A                    E    A
 I would be reminded everyday
                    D    A
I would be reminded everyday
E     A    Bm
Of my shame

[Chorus]
F#m                    A
