VERSE

Am
God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
C
Remembering when you were mine
G
In a still suburban town

Am
When every thursday I'd brave those mountain passes
C
And you'd skip your early classes
G
And we'd learn how our bodies worked.

Am
God damn the black night with all it's foul temptation
C
I become what I always hated
G
When I was with you then

Am
We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact
C
Fumbling to make contact
G
As the others slept inside

Am
And together there
Fmaj
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
G
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
Am               Fmaj                        G       E
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get

Fmaj                G Fmaj
Do you remember the JAMC?
F                   G Fmaj
And reading aloud from magazines
Fmaj                               G Fmaj
I don't know about you but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
Fmaj                 G Fmaj
I've never been too good with secrets.
No...

(repeat G Fmaj progression)
