B                                               B
sitting in your sister's volvo, in the parking lot
B                           C#m             B
of a chinese restaurant, in salem, new hampshire


B                                       B
listening to elliot smith, on compact disks
B                       C#m              B
his third album sounds, pretty good, mhmm


B                                               B
all i want, at least right now, is to be close to you
B                                       C#m
the smell of your hair, is literally amazing, honestly


B
this is like one of those awesome dreams
B
where you get to hang out with the guys from fugazi
B
and you're so frustrated and angry,
B
that it was just a dream


B                                       B
but this is not goodbye, this is just goodnight
B                                       B
go back to massachusetts, and i'm to the north
C#m                                     B
i'll see you in six or seven days, go.
