[Verse 1]
Dmaj7Summer was lush
Gmaj7Winter is Cmaj7bony and C9rough, here
Dmaj7Put cream in your cup
Gmaj7Then blow steam off the Cmaj7cupC9  
Dmaj7We walk down Francis, hit the 7-Eleven near Gmaj7campus
Holding Cmaj7hands like some C9kids
Dmaj7Then we wait 'til sunset, and hit the liquor store on Selma
D7The neighbor's dog barks from the trailer
[Chorus]
Oh, Gmaj7VioletG  
Would you Dwait aDmaj7round with D7me
I'm begging you, Gmaj7VioletG  
Would you Dmaj7stay around with D7me
I'm begging you, Gmaj7VioletG

Your hair and your Gmaj7thighs are wet
Kiss you on the neck, AViolet, A7Voilet
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7You got my shirts in your car
Gmaj7I put a punching Cmaj7bag in the yC9ard
Dmaj7Laundry room flood from the rain
Gmaj7The whistling train
I Cmaj7kiss you C9again and again
Dmaj7You take photographs from the backseat
Gmaj7Down the back road in Cmaj7Pata-pC9sco
Dmaj7We're driving slow, windows are low, and D7tires are slick from the snow
[Chorus]
And I think of you, Gmaj7VioletG  
Would you Dwait aDmaj7round with D7me
