Denise, promise me you'll come around
        A  D*                  A  D*
For you, you decide to spread
           A  D*                                   A  D*
Your wings, spread your wings and leave this town

That Dwhat we have is more than good

And seems to shine a light behind my eyes
Verse Chords:
Denise, if only just to hear the sound
Of you breathing in my ear
I swear I'd let them put me in the ground
Denise, I will not be ignored
Chorus Chords:
I hid the bongs behind the shed
To mark the spot where I first saw clear
Where what we have will never die
And everybody else can disappear
A, D*, A, D*
