E5                   G5   E5  E5
as we cruised across the Canadian border
                                            G5    E5  E5
you reached into your handbag, pulled out a micro-cassette recorder,

started quoting Tolstoy into the machine,
     G5   E5      E5
i had no idea what you meant.

i guess i'm supposed to figure these things out, 
   G5           E5      E5
or maybe it's supposed to be self-evident.
              C5    C5
but i've gone feral,
    C5           G5  E5 - E5 *
and i don't speak the language anymore.
C5            C5       C5  G5  E5   E5
we're headed deep into the forest, 

i've got the pedal to the floor.
                           D5                   E5             D5
the engine shudders, like a dying man, when you reach out to grab my hand,
Bb5                         A5
you can bring out all your weapons,
                        E5
you can't make me go to war.

E5                              G5       E5       E5 *
long winding Canadian highways, innumerable evergreens.

weather forecast on the AM radio
           G5           E5     E5
says we'll be expecting highs in the low teens
                                     G5
when i mouth my silent curses at you, 
E5     E5
i can see my breath.
                                             G5
i hope the stars don't even come out tonight.
      E5        E5
i hope we both freeze to death.
C5           C5     C5      G5                  E5  E5 *
look at the person i've turned into, tell me, how do you like him now?
C5            C5        C5   G5    E5 - E5 *
no standards of any kind to break, no creeds to disavow
E5                         D5
i am right here where you want me
E5                      D5
do what you brought me out here for.
        Bb5            A5
you can arm me to the teeth.
(muted strumming)       E
you can't make me go to war.

End with string breaking power!
