Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (E minor)
Verse 1
Down by the lake (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
we were overturning pebbles
And upending all the
animals alight (D major) (G major) (E minor)
And I took a drag from your cigarette
And I pinched it 'tween my fin (D major) ger and my thumb,
'til (G major) it had died (D major)
And the sun (E minor) burned low, on (D major) the radio

Verse 2
(E minor)
Say that you will, say you will,
or will you or won't
Or you whatever you (G major) prevaricate,
(E minor) you whole (D major) life, don't you? (E minor)
And this much I can say: I would've
waited 'til the oceans
Fell away and all the sunken (D major) cities
would reveal themselves to you
But you (E minor) won't,
will you? (D major) Because (G major) you nev (D major) er do (G major) (D major)
And the sun (E minor) burned through,
sweet as hon (D major) eydew
Verse 3
And (E minor) I, (B minor) (G major) sev (A major) enteen (D major)
and ter (G major) minally fey
I wro (D major) te it down and threw it all away (E minor)
Never gave a thought to what I (G major) paid
And you, all sibylline, (A major)
reclining (D major) in your pew (G major)
You tattered (D major) me,
you tethered me to you (E minor)
The things you would,
the things you (D major) wouldn't do (G major)
To tell the truth,
I never (A major) had a (D major) clue
Interlude 1
(D major) (E minor) (D major)
(E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor)
Verse 4
Now we arise (E minor) to curse those
young suburban villains
And their ill-begotten children
children from (D major) the lawn (E minor)
Come to me now,
and on the station wagon window
Set the ghost of your two footprints
That they (D major) might haunt me
when you're gone
And when the light (E minor) broke dawn,
you were forever (D major) gone
But I re (E minor) member you:
(G major) you were (E minor) full
You were full and sweet as hon (D major) eydew
Verse 5
And (D major) I, (B minor) (G major) sev (A major) enteen
and (D major) (A major) ter (G major) minally fey
Well, I (D major) wrote it down and
threw it all away (E minor)
Never gave a thought to what I'd (G major) pay
And you, all sibyl (A major) line, (D major)
re (A major) clining in your pew (G major)
You tattered (D major) me,
you tethered me to you (E minor)
The things you would,
and the things you wouldn't (G major) do
You notice now, I (D major) never (A major) had a clue (D major)
Never had a clue
You were full and sweet
as honeydew
You were full and sweet
Outro 1
as honeydew
(D major) (E minor) (D major)
(E minor) (D major) (Asus4)
