Song Title: Smashing
Artist: Ray LaMontagne
Year: 2014
Album: Supernova
BListen to the sound of the Abseaside crashing
BCloak on a hook in the Abhallway. Smashing 
Bred and yellow Teacups Abtripping over clover
B"Have another pull" cries the AbPiping Plover
C#I'll be the F#one who stays
C#I'll be the F#one who Bstays
BSitting in the cool of the Abshadows under
BCan you hear the laughter of the AbRiver Daughter?
BUnder water Abfish are flashing
BIn the sky a Abthunder crashing
C#I'll be the F#one who stays
C#I'll be the F#one who Dsays
    Bm"I look at Dyou and I don't know who I Gmaj7am"
    Bm"I look at Dyou, I see my life as a Gmaj7sham"
    Bm"Am I jDust a con Gmaj7man?"
    Bm"I fooled you Donce...and I can do it aGmaj7gain..."
EI'll be the Aone who stays
EI'll be the Aone who F#stays
G"You should   Dbe here    F#with me   Bnow"
BLooking through the glass as the AbMoon rolls over 
BChurch and Steeple, AbHill and Harbor
BDo you ever wonder what it Abis inside us?
BDo you ever wonder where it Abis inside us?
C#I'll be the F#one who stays
C#I'll be the F#one who Dsays
    Bm"I look at Dyou and I don't know who I Gmaj7am"
    Bm"I look at Dyou, I see my life as a Gmaj7sham"
    Bm"Am I jDust a con Gmaj7man?"
    Bm"I fooled you Donce...and I can do it aGmaj7gain..."
EI'll be the Aone who stays
EI'll be the Aone who F#says
G"You should   Dbe here    F#with me   Bnow"
G"You should   Dbe here    F#with me   Bnow"
