between the stacks in the library

not like anyone stopped to see

among the dust and the microfiche

dark winters wear you down
F7M
up again to see the dawn
in your worn sweatshirt
C
and your mothers old skirt

Verse:
C Am
i never thought i would come of age
F7M
let alone on a moldy page
you put your back to the spines
C
and you said it was fine if there's nothing really left to say
C Am
you're taking toffee with your vicodin
F7M
something sweet to forget about him
C
if you go your own way i will go my own way

and well never speak of it again

G Am F7M C(long)
