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 its foul temptations
C
i've 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
F
in a shroud of frost, the mountain air
G
began to pass from every pane of weathered glass

Am
and i held you closer
C                      F    E
than anyone would ever get
