Verse 1
Eb
Early to rise, early to bed
Ab
Eb
That mo ment I'd risen,
I shaved my head
Doing so that morning began with a grin,
Eb
I left behind my old fabled skin.
It was middle of
May, the seasons were bending,
Ab
Eb
I with the seasons could predict no ending.
Ab
Eb
Lived in the moment, be ing as it were,
D
Bb
Eb
that mo ment surrendered and led me to her.

Eb
G
Ab
Ex change and glances are eyes by a thread
Eb
Cm
Eb
I took to ride over by tilting my head
Ab
I fol lowed her blind to
Eb
an old record store
While one of her friends
D
found her way through
the door
Bb
Eb
In the dark we played
records with everyone
Fm
high I held her hands when
Ab
the police drove by
Fm
Ab
She asked me about home, if I missed it at all
I thought, mama, oh mama,
Eb
Cm
Eb
I've been meaning to call
The band went home, I stayed behind
Ab
I took the
Muskegon
Eb
Ferry from the
Milwaukee
Line
Arrived at her door to clutch
all her heartstrings
Bb
We're driving up north
Eb
to forget everything
I followed her to beaches,
we slept on the dunes
I still see her eyes lit by
fragments of moons
D
Not crescent nor full,
Eb
in side of the storm
Bb
She'd dive and resur face,
Eb
each time changing form
Fm
Eb
But time kept in sisting
Ab
we both sink like rocks
Fm
As time out of water
Ab
resumed on the clocks
Fm
Ab
She slept while the second
hand spun on the
wall I thought,
Mama, oh,
Mama,
Eb
Cm
Eb
Benita took off
I didn't want to lose her,
bought two tickets home
We left
Copper
Harbor, scared to be alone
Standing there watching
our feet off the plane
Each step she took further,
I was less the same
I was running from whoever I was at the time I
Ab
Eb
went run ning right in to the middle of a
crime I was plowing in the
quicksand just to get
above the grime
Just to come up for some
air I was climbing
to climb
And I didn't mean to hurt
you when I turned
Bb
on a dime, and just within a day
Eb
Bb
you were well on your way.
Fm
Gm
Eb
Ab
And I went to the river where all sinners meet,
Fm
Eb
watched the animals run from headlights
Ab
in the street.
Eb
I thought I'm like all the rest, I just want to be impressed,
Ab
you gotta be above someone
Fm
to watch them fall.
Eb
Emily I've been meaning,
