Austin Collins & Daniel Makins - Bridge Street Lullaby
Capo 2

C                            
I give you metallic license
          F
Spin your wheels until they cough
C                                   F
Deaths got all its fingers hanging down like broken slats

If I speak to you in metaphors 
And tongues that make you sing
Will you drop the act of getting by and pray for shiny things

Am
But you tried to make it better
F
And I tried to understand
Am
That night we walked across the bridge
F
You held on to my hand

G                F        C
Ive got time to wait for you
G                     F       C 
You crossed my mind a time or two
Am  C        Am     C
Im alright, youre ok
Am         G          
Close your eyes . . . babe

I come home to you calling
And youre waiting by the phone
The black and red passing signs forever pushing on

Soot-colored window sills
Solemn-covered views
Accentuate the distance, darkening the hews

Accents of your inflections
Were starving for the same
Old feelings start and flutter
Like your dress a picture frame

Chorus

Am
I wish it were as harmless
F
As you wanted it to be
Am
Could justify the things I do
F
Each night so I can sleep
