A E she smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles F#m D when the world is hers and she held your eyes A E F#m D out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer A E F#m D and she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers A E F#m D she looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer A E but you've already lost F#m D but you've already lost A E but you've already lost F#m D when you only had barely enough to hang on A E and she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth F#m D and she made you better than you'd been before A E D she told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer A E F#m D and she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap A E F#m D she said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer" A E but you've already lost F#m D but you've already lost A E but you've already lost F#m D when you only had barely enough to hang on E E she said, "no one is alone the way you are alone" E A and you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known A E some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure F#m E days like that should last and last and last A E but you've already lost F#m D but you've already lost A E but you've already lost F#m D when you only had barely enough to hang on
