We were sun-burned and shoeless kids
5    -4   4     -4    5  -4 4
It was the dead of  July
  5      6    -6  6        5    -4   4    -4  5     5
We were skippin' stones in the failing light
7     7        7  7 -7  -6  5
I smelled the fire place
  5    -6    -7     7    -7  6  -4  5
Although we were miles away
  5      6   -6  6  5
We were infinite
             5   5     5   -4    4      -4
There was no time in those days

          -8  -8     -8    8  -7  -6 -7 -6 6
When all we knew wasn't    stolen
    6      6      6   6     6  -7   -8
There was nothing real to lose
   -8     -8     -8      8     -7  -6 -7 -6 6
When our heads were still   simple
    6      6      6    6    -7     -8
We'd sleep beneath the moon
  -8     -8     -8     8
You were something
    8      8    -9 10 -9 9 9  -8   8  -7
That would    always     be around
   -7     -7  -7     -6    -7    7    6  -5     5
When regrets were nowhere to be found

   4     5   6  -6    6      5
Lost out among the trees
5 -4 4    -4         5      -4     4
  Our  hands scraped the bark
   5     5    6    -6  6      5
You still had bloody knees
   -4     4      -4  5    5    5
From your spill in the dark
  7      7      7      7   -7     -6
We were both laughing then
    5      -6  -7    7      -7    6  -4      5
While carving bad words in the wood
  5     5   6     -6   6     5
We had no need to speak

    5,      -5   -5   -5     5
Night, down by the shore
  4      4      -5   -5   6      5
We were down by the shore
    4      4    -5    -5   -5   5
When the skies opened up
   4   4    3     3     5   5 -4   4     4
And all the stars fell into the lake
    5     4    -5 -5   -5      5
When the water was warm
     4      4  -5 -5  6     5
Walked in over my head
  4    -5     -5     -5   5   4    3    3  5  -4    4    4
But you pulled me out by the collar of my shirt

   4  -3   4     4,    4  -4   5     -3
Dirt in our ears, sun in our eyes
    5      -4   4   -2,     -2   -3   4      -3
Shirts hung in rags, head in the clouds
          4     -3   4     4,      4   4    -4     5     -3
Our fears had no teeth, hearts were still blind
   5   -4   4     -2     -2  -2  -3 4    -3
You barely talked and  I didn't mind
