as we cruised across the Canadian border
G6 Em11/F# E
you reached into your handbag, pulled out a micro-cassette recorder,
started quoting Tolstoy into the machine,
G6 Em11/F# E
i had no idea what you meant.
i guess i'm supposed to figure these things out,
G6 Em11/F# E
or maybe it's supposed to be self-evident.
C C9/B
but i've gone feral,
C9/A G6 Em11/F# - E *
and i don't speak the language anymore.
C C9/B C9/A G6 Em11/F# E
we're headed deep into the forest,
i've got the pedal to the floor.
D E D
the engine shudders, like a dying man, when you reach out to grab my hand,
Bb A
you can bring out all your weapons,
E
you can't make me go to war.

long winding Canadian highways, innumerable evergreens.

weather forecast on the AM radio
G6 Em11/F# E
says we'll be expecting highs in the low teens
G6
when i mouth my silent curses at you,
Em11/F# E
i can see my breath.
G6
i hope the stars don't even come out tonight.
Em11/F# E
i hope we both freeze to death.
C C9/B C9/A G6 Em11/F# E *
look at the person i've turned into, tell me, how do you like him now?
C C9/B C9/A G6 Em11/F# - E *
no standards of any kind to break, no creeds to disavow
E D
i am right here where you want me
E D
do what you brought me out here for.
Bb A
you can arm me to the teeth.
(muted strumming) E
you can't make me go to war.
