E (022100@1)                 G6 (320000@1) Em11/F#  Eas (022100@1)we cruised across the Canadian border
                                            G6 (320000@1)  Em11/F#  Eyou (022100@1)reached into your handbag, pulled out a micro-cassette recorder,

started quoting Tolstoy into the machine,
     G6 (320000@1) Em11/F#      Ei (022100@1)had no idea what you meant.

i guess i'm supposed to figure these things out, 
   G6 (320000@1)         Em11/F#      Eor (022100@1)maybe it's supposed to be self-evident.
              C (x32010@1)  Cadd9/B
but i've gone feral,
    Cadd9/A           G6 (320000@1)Em11/F#-E*
and i don't speak the language anymore.
C (x32010@1)          Cadd9/B       Cadd9/A  G6 (320000@1)Em11/F#   Ewe're (022100@1)headed deep into the forest,

i've got the pedal to the floor.
                           D (xx0232@1)                 E (022100@1)           Dthe (xx0232@1)engine shudders, like a dying man, when you reach out to grab my hand,
Bb (x1333x@1)                       Ayou (x02220@1)can bring out all your weapons,
                        Eyou (022100@1)can't make me go to war.

long winding Canadian highways, innumerable evergreens.
Eweather (022100@1)forecast on the AM radio
           G6 (320000@1)         Em11/F#     Esays (022100@1)we'll be expecting highs in the low teens
                                     G6when (320000@1)i mouth my silent curses at you, 
Em11/F#     E
i can see my breath.
                                             G6i (320000@1)hope the stars don't even come out tonight.

E (022100@1)                       Di (xx0232@1)am right here where you want me
E (022100@1)                    Ddo (xx0232@1)what you brought me out here for.
        Bb (x1333x@1)          Ayou (x02220@1)can arm me to the teeth.
(muted strumming)       E
you can't make me go to war.
