D MajorD                        D MajorD
...The ground to be his bed...the sky his awning

Pre-Chorus 1:
D MajorD         G+G A augmentedA                    D MajorD
Neon, neon, neon...a blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
D MajorD                  G+G    A augmentedA              D MajorD
Cows surround so you lean on, lean on...so much your hugs become hold-ons

Oh these three worn words, Oooooh that we whisper, like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona...

I just want to love you in my own language

F# minorF#m    E MajorE         D MajorD    B minorBm     A augmentedA         D MajorD
....To two thirsty girls from Hornsea, who left a note when morning came
F# minorF#m           E MajorE  D MajorD   B minorBm       A augmentedA          D MajorD
Girls from the pool say hi....the road erodes at five feet per year along England's east coastline
F# minorF#m         E MajorE   D MajorD  B minorBm       A augmentedA        D MajorD
Was this your first time?....love is just a button we pressed last night by the campfire
