Capo 8
"Muscle Memory"
Em Bm
After having spent a fast year
Em G
Waiting for the next time I can get you close
Em Bm
I grew used to being back here
Em G
Like a chorus and rhyme, soldier at his post
Am Em D
You call and I respond, the sparrow and the song
C
I miss you when you’re gone
C Em
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
G D
I talk into the empty like you were with me
C Em
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
G D
Noticing the reflex taking over me
C Em
I see you when I reach (ooohhh yeah)
G D
Muscle memory (ooooohh)
Em Bm
Again, off into the next fall
Em G
I am on the back steps trying to let you in
Em Bm
See you standing in the front hall
Em G
Maybe this is madness underneath my skin
Am Em D
Guess love is a response of the body it haunts
C
And we do what it wants
C Em
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
G D
I talk into the empty like you were with me
C Em
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
G D
Noticing the reflex taking over me
C Em
I see you when I reach (ooohhh yeah)
G D
Muscle memory (ooooohh)
C Em
I feel you endlessly (ooohhh yeah)
D
Muscle memory (ooooohh)
C
When I feel the chains of a thousand words
Em
And I speak your name like I know you heard
D
I can feel you there, I can hear you move
C
And it moves me, too
C
And I’m playing games and I’m drinking wine
Em
And I see your glass sitting next to mine
D
I can feel you there when you’re not at home
C
Like I’m not alone
C Em
When I am alone, I see you in the dark
G D
I talk into the empty like you were with me
C Em
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
G D
Noticing the reflex taking over me
C Em
I see you when I reach (ooohhh yeah)
G D
Muscle memory (ooooohh)
C Em
I feel you endlessly (ooohhh yeah)
D
Muscle memory
Em
