[Verse 1]
A Bm
I’ve been living in a wishing well
D A
Since circumstances stopped wishing me well
D A
Waiting on the day when you’ll turn back my way
Bm E
And we can turn back the time
[Verse 2]
A Bm
Every day that the rooster crows
D A
Every night that the wind blows
D A
I confess I elect to redirect
Bm E
My thoughts from where they want to go
[Chorus]
D A
Now I’m moving through the stages of a fine afternoon
D A
But I’m staring down an evening with nothing much to do
Bm D
Oh, and that’s when I’m in danger
Bm D
That’s when I’m in danger
Bm D A
That’s when I’m in danger of thinking of you
[Verse 3]
A Bm
Make coffee, check the weather
D A
Then check the weather back home
D A
I miss everyone, but I’m not coming back
Bm E
Just want to know when it snows
[Verse 4]
A Bm
Oh, I wish I could see me from up above
D A
Like a flying kite
D A
Try as I may, I can not dispel
Bm E
Suspicions that you might have been right
[Chorus]
D A
That I’m always searching for the thing that’s right under my nose
D A
That I’m looking for a rainbow while I’m pissing in a pot of gold
Bm D
Oh, and that’s when I’m in danger
Bm D
That’s when I’m in danger
Bm D A
That’s when I’m in danger of missing you

[Verse 5]
A Bm
Oh, California’s nice but it's true that it kills
D A
If the earthquakes don’t get you, the landlords will
D A
They gave amnesty for hippies long ago
Bm E
But is there mercy here still?
[Verse 6]
A Bm
I sat down to write a letter
D A
That began with some crazy dream I had
D A
I was playing piano at the Hotel Saint Regis
Bm E
In a wedding band with your dad
[Chorus]
D A
And then I said "I love you" in that classic kind of way that just doesn’t die
D A
It just rolls on and on, creeping towards the end of time
Bm D
Oh, and that’s what feels in danger
Bm D
That’s what feels in danger
Bm D A
That’s what feels in danger of being true
