head[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Doing so that morning began with a grin[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I left behind my old fabled skin[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n It was middle of May, the seasons were bending[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I with the seasons could predict no ending[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Lived in the moment, being as it were[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n That moment surrendered and led me to her[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n Exchanging glances, our eyes by a thread[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I tugged her right over by tilting my head[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I followed her blind, to an old record store[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\n While one of her friends found a way through the door[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n In the dark we played records with everyone high[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n I held her hands when the police drove by[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n She asked me bout' home if I missed it at all[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I

behind[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I took the Muskegon Ferry from the Milwaukee line[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Arrived at her door to clutch all her hearts strings[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n We're driving up north to forget everything[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] \r\n I followed her to beaches, we slept on the dunes[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I still see her eyes lit by fragments of moons[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Not crescent, nor full inside of the storm[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n She'd dive and resurface each time changing form[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n But time kept insisting we both sink like rocks[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n Time out of water resumed on the clocks [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n She slept while the second hand spun on the wall[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I thought

home[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n We left Copper Harbor scared to be alone[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Standing there watching our feet off the plane [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Each step she took further I was less the same[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I was running from whoever I was at the time[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I went running right into the middle of a crime[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n I was clawing in the quicksand just to get above the grime[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Just to come up for some air, I was climbing to climb[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n And I didn't mean to hurt you when I turned on a dime[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\n And just within a day you were well on your way[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n And I went to the river where all sinners meet[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\n Watched the animals run from headlights in the street[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\n I thought I'm like all the rest, I just wanna be impressed[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\n You
