Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(E minor) (C major) I was thinking 'bout you, cross
(G major) ing Southern Alberta (C major)
Canola fields (D major) on a July day
(C major) About the same chartreuse
as that sixty-n (G major) ine Bug
Bug
You used to (E minor) drive around (D major) San Jose (C major)
Verse 2
Never knew (C major) where my old white
Lincol (G major) n might take you
Party (C major) on wheels with sui (D major) cide doors
Bring the kid (C major) s and the dogs
and your grand (G major) ma too
(D major) We (E minor) al ways had (D major) room for more (C major)
'Til that white-knuckle ride ride
back from (G major) Santa Cruz
Second-be (C major) st surfer surfer
on the cent (D major) ral coast
Had you wrapped (C major) up all the way
back (G major) to Los Gatos
(D major) And (E minor) I could've (D major) cut his throat (C major)
And it wasn't like we were
an item (G major) to start with
It had (D major) no basis in fact (E minor)
But the whis (C major) key could push me
to sud (G major) den extremes
I don't wanna think about that, (D major)
I don't wanna (C major) think about that (G major) (C major)
Verse 3
Take my (E minor) hand, Mar (D major) ie (C major)
Take a (G major) death grip on some (D major) part of (C major) me
Keep me from (G major) drifting (D major) far out to sea
(E minor) Or I'll be lost (D major) out (C major) there
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (G major)
Verse 4
(D major)
We all drif (C major) ted away with
the days (G major) getting shorter
Seek (C major) ing our place
in the great (D major) er scheme
Kid (C major) s and careers and a vague
(G major) sense (D major) of order
(E minor) Busting apart (D major) at the seam (C major) s
I heard you switched coasts,
moved (G major) in with your sister
I (C major) doubt you'd have called it fa (D major) milial bliss
We (C major) met up in Brooklyn
before (G major) it went hip (D major) ster
You (E minor) car ried your key (D major) s in your fist (C major)
In a way back corner of a cross-town (G major) bus
bus
We were (D major) hiding out under my hat (E minor)
(C major) Cashing in on a thirty-year (G major) crush
crush
You can't be young and do (D major) that
You can't (C major) be young and do (G major) that (C major)
Take my (E minor) hand, Marie
Verse 5
(D major)
(C major) Take a (G major) death grip
on some (D major) part of (C major) me
Keep me from (G major) drifting (D major) far out to sea
(E minor) Or I'll be lost (D major) out (C major) there
Or I'll be (E minor) lost (D major) out (C major) there (D major)
Interlude 1
(E minor) (D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (E minor)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (E minor) (D major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
(D major)
Verse 6
I was think (C major) ing 'bout you crossing
South (G major) ern Alberta (C major)
Canola fields at har (D major) vest time
Looked like tumble (C major) weeds
all raked (G major) up into rows
Brown (E minor) rusty (G major) contour (C major) lines
And there's not much moving
on the (G major) ro mance radar
(C major) Not that I'm craving it (D major) all that much
But I still (C major) need to feel every once (G major) in a while
(D major) The (G major) warmth of a smile (D major) and a touch
(C major) And in a way back corner
of a cross-town (G major) bus
bus
We were hid (D major) ing out under my hat (E minor)
(C major) Cashing in on a thirty-year (G major) crush
crush
You can't be young and do (D major) that
You can't be young (C major) and do (G major) that
You can't be young and do (D major) that
You can't be young (C major) and do (G major) that (C major)
Verse 7
Take my (E minor) hand, (D major) Marie (C major)
Take a (G major) death grip on some (D major) part of (C major) me
Keep me from (G major) drifting (D major) far out to sea
(E minor) Or I'll be lost (D major) out (C major) there
I'll be (E minor) lost (D major) out (C major) there
I'll be (E minor) lost (D major) out (C major) there
