All my fingers ran off and I, I just couldn't follow them

Your eyelash was an island, and your eyes were someone's friend
A minorAm G+G
Who could there have been oh oh oh woh
A minorAm G+G
Well i heard it was a real sweet thing

Now when my smells grew some more smells,

I smell my sister in the winter and my father in the fall
A minorAm G+G
Cross sand and snow oh oh oh woh
A minorAm G+G
A augmentedA tired moon, oh oh oh who
A minorAm G(single strum)
Oh oh oh who...
