Ring On The Sill Chords

[Verse 1]
               F            C
She placed her ring on the sill,
G
Dishes piled high
             F               C
She's on the front porch step
                       G N.C.
And the air smells like snow
      Cmaj7
She's thinking of the siege to come
               Am
And how she'll miss those weekends
                                  Dm
In the park with the sun on her face
                      F
And her book by her side and that
           C                         G
Lingering taste that he left on her tongue
 
 
[Verse 2]
             F              C
He lifts his glass from the table
            G
It leaves a ring where it stood
            F               C
He sees the light from the window
                G
Caress her like he knows he should
           Cmaj7
And he's remembering the first time he kissed her
             Am
And how he'd wake
 
And immediately he'd miss her,
       Dm
Like a spell, with each breath,
F                            C
He'd taste her breath like a haunting,
    G         C
Irritating as hell
 
 
[Bridge]
E         G              F
 Do you remember when you'd pray
         C
To never see the day
     F                  C
When someone would make you feel this way
           Dm
'Cause you knew
                     F
They would cut right through you
    C                       G
And once inside, you were afraid they'd find
Dm               C  F
 Nothing to hold on to

[Verse 3]
            F           C
He puts her ring on her finger,
    G
She brushes back his hair
           F             C
He takes a sip from his glass,
                G   N.C.
She inhales the cold fall air
        Cmaj7
They're thinking of the long road ahead
         Am
And the strength that they will need
 
Just to reach the end
    Dm                        F
And there in the silence they search for
                         C
The balance between this fear that they feel
      G                           C
And a love that has graced their lives
