Verse:
E

Highway 17, cotton candy rain
F#m
Driving with my lover, we missed our plane
      D
So we added on the hours to see the lupine flowers
Bm
Way out past the border, we blew through Thunder Bay
    A
The pine trees are narrow, a billion broken arrows
    F#m
The ravens and the crows, robins and the sparrows
D
All across Ontario, just static on the stereo
    Bm
And swimming in the lake, Old Woman Bay
A
Traveling with some stuff I left when I was a kid
F#m
Mr. Bear and the wooden box I hid
D
Full of broken gadgets that don't mean nothing now
    Bm
The only thing I'll keep are the letters and the photographs
   E
In two days it's my birthday and I'll be 33
    F#m
But that doesn't really matter next to eternity
    D
And I like a double number, and I like an odd one too
    Bm
And everything I see from now on will be something new


A  F#m D  Bm


Verse 2:
     A
"I'm afraid of getting older", that's what I learned to say
      F#m
'Cause society has given me the words to think that way
    D
The message spins and spirals, "Don't get saggy, don't get grey"
        Bm
But the soft and lovely silvers are now falling on my shoulder
   A
My mother and my grandma, my great-grandmother too
     F#m
They wrinkle like the river, sweeten like the dew
       D
And as silver as the rainbow scales that shimmer purple blue
        Bm
How can beauty that is living be anything but true?
       A
So let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair
       F#m
Let me dance in front of people without a care
       D
Let me be naked alone with nobody there
      Bm
Or with mismatched socks and shoes and stuff stuffed in my underwear


Outro:
