Coming Up Close

C2 X32033
One night in Iowa, he and I in a borrowed car
Went driving in the summer, promises in every star
Out in the distance I could hear some people laughing
I felt my heart beat back a weekend’s worth of sadness
There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted G We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface Em We thought just for an instant we could see the future C (2)
We thought for once we knew what really was important Am Coming up close
Everything sounds like welcome home
Come home and oh, by the way
Don’t you know that I could make
A dream that’s barely half-awake come true
I wanted to say —
But anything I could have said
I felt somehow that you already knew
We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape G We drove around the fields until it started getting late Em And I went back to my hotel room on the highway C (2)
And he just got back in his car and drove away Am Coming up close G C2
Everything sounds like welcome home G Come home and oh, by the way C2 G Don’t you know that I could make Em A dream that’s barely half-awake come true Am C I wanted to say — but anything I could have said G Em
I felt somehow that you already knew Am C Coming up close G C2
Everything sounds like welcome home G Come home C2 G Coming up close G C2
Everything sounds like welcome home G Come home Come on home C2 G
