Verse 1:
N.C.
Jesus called you on the weekend
         Am                     Am
Said he was busy but he'd check back in
       C                                                        F
And if it doesn't rain on your wedding day you'll know that he did
       F                       Am
You'd convinced yourself that you'd find the right boy
C                                 F
At the school where your parents met
         Dm                     Am
It was a couple of months and your mind was set


Chorus:
N.C.                     Am
I always wanted just to swim in your lake
Am                        C
But I could never break through the ice
                    F           C
And though it's hard enough to shut me up now
          Em                    F
In those days I always thought twice
                   Am
Thinking you would rip out my tongue
                C
You settled for my heart instead
               F                           C              F
And all these silly little words I've written stay left unsaid


Interlude:
Am Am   C          C            x2:
      (Ooooooooohhhh ooohhhh)


Verse 2:
             F
Now I could build me an ark
                 Am
Somewhere in the New York woods
            C                                           F
And I could hole up for winter alone like it'd do me any good
F                              Am
I've got a ticket to ride on your carousel
  Em                        F
But it lives right between my ears
C                             F                 Am
Where the horses stay spinnin' for the rest of my years
  C                                        F
Where the horses stay spinnin' making it clear
N.C.                 C         Am
That I'll never have you   (Ooooooooohhhh ooohhhh)
           C                Am
I'll never have you   (Ooooooooohhhh ooohhhh)


Chorus:
                      F                          Am
No I'll never get to swim in your lake no matter how hard I try
       C                                                     F
And maybe I wasn't meant to be the chisel that breaks through your ice
F
So I'll learn to accept my role
   Am                   C
And silently lay my arms down
         C                     Em                      C
Still, I wonder if things would be different had I opened my mouth


Outro:
C    Am
