crushing strawberries one by one
A5                     C5
watching the juice drip down
E5             E5         A5
two and a half months ahead of schedule
A5                     C5
the leaves on the trees are turning brown
E5             E5                    A5
we got ready for winter, as the sun rose up in the sky
D5               A5             E5                A5    
there was something almost soothing in the hard to define
D5               A5             E5                
note of terror in your eye

watching the strawberries lose their shape
A5                        C5             
as the wind blew threw the elm tree
       E5          E5           A5
the wind was far too cold for the middle of april
    A5                            C5
and you reached out your hand to me
        E5               E5       A5
it was good to feel your hand in mine
D5                              A5
it was good to know you felt the pull too
       E5                             A5
i scooped up a palmfull of strawberry pulp
  D5                        A5
and smeared it all over you
    E5                   A5

the wild strawberries drove me on, as i lapped them up off of your skin
D5                     A5                E5                          A5
and i could feel your basal body temperature rise as the cold came in
D5                          A5               E5                     A5
hey hey
