God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
8 8 8 -8 8 9’ 8 -8
Remembering when you were mine
6 -6 -6 6 -6 6 5
In a still suburban town
8 8 -8 8 -7 8 8 -8 8 9’ 8 -8
When every thursday I'd brave those mountain passes
-7 8 8 -8 8 9’ 8 -8
And you'd skip your early classes
9 -10 -10 -10 9 -10 9 8
And we'd learn how our bodies worked.
8 8 -8 8 -7 8 8 -8 8 9’ 8 -8
God damn the black night with all its foul temptations
-8 8 8 8 -8 8 9’ 8 -8
I’ve become what I always hated
6 -6 6 -6 6 5
When I was with you then
8 8 -8 8 -7 8 8 8 8 -8 8 9’ 8 -8
We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact
8 8 -8 8 9’ 8 -8
Fumbling to make contact
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5
As the others slept inside
8 -8 8 9’ 9
And together there
-10 -10 -10 9 10’ -10 -10 9 -10
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
8 8 9 -10 -10 -10 9 10’ -10 -10 9 8
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
-7 8 8 9’ 9 8 -8 -10 -10 9 10’ -10 -10 9 -10
And I held you clo-se-r than anyone would ever get
8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -7 -6 -6 6
Do you remember the J A M C?
8 8 -8 -8 -7 -7 -7 -6 6
And reading aloud from magazines
-8 8 8 8 -8 -7
I don't know about you,
-7 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 -4
but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
6 6 -6 -7 -6 -6 6 8 -8
I've never been too good with secrets,
-7 6
N-o
8 -8 8 9’ 8
And together there
-10 -10 -10 9 10’ -10 -10 9 8
In a shroud of frost and mountain air
8 8 9’ 8 -8 -10 -10 9 10’-10 -10 9 8
Began to pa-ss through every pane of weathered glass
8 8 8 9’ 8 -8
And I held you closer...
