Lyrics

Intro
A D A D F#m D

Verse 1
D
It’s been five years
F#m
And I still can’t walk right at it
A D
Like the cobwebs in the attic, it’s hanging there
D
I’ve had my name cleared
F#m
In the eyes of those that matter
A D E
But they can’t see the ladder or the chair

Pre-Chorus
D
And I can see the sun another day
F#m D E
You don’t have to wait, I’ll be right along
D
Right now I think I’ll just get in the way
A D
Cuz everything I say feels a little wrong


Chorus
A D
But when you get back I’d love to hold you close
A D
Like the live oak grows on the California coast
F#m D
Like the olive oil on your avocado toast
E A D
I’d like to have a place in your life

Verse 2
D
But you’re still here
F#m
In the doorway smiling at me
A D
Asking if I’d like to come along
D
And as I draw near
F#m
You take my hand and tell me
A D E
You can spot a promise hidden in a song

Pre-Chorus
D
And if I mean it then that’s good enough for you
F#m D
Now come outside, and let’s go on that walk

Solo
A D A D F#m D E A D

Chorus
A D
But when we get back I’d love to hold you close
A D
Like the live oak grows on the California coast
F#m D
Like the olive oil on your avocado toast
E A D
I’d like to have a place in your life

A D
Yeah when we get back I’d love to hold you close
A D
Like the live oak grows on the California coast
F#m D
Like the olive oil on your avocado toast
E A D
I’d like to have a place in your life

Outro
E A D
I’d like to be the shield at your side
E A D
And thanks for saying I don’t have to hide
