TUNING
Untune your guitar half step down, that is somewhere in the middle of E MajorE and D#D#

CAPO ON 1

 D MajorD
 Early to rise, Early to bed
 G+G            D MajorD
 That moment I'd risen I shaved my head
 G+G            D MajorD
 Doing so that morning began with a grin
 A augmentedA              D MajorD
 I left behind my old fabled skin

    D MajorD
 It was middle of May, the seasons were bending
 G+G            D MajorD
 I with the seasons could predict no ending
 G+G          D MajorD
 Lived in the moment, being as it were
   A augmentedA                D MajorD
 That moment surrendered and led me to her

 B minorBm           G+G
 Exchanging glances, our eyes by a thread
  D MajorD                  B minorBm  D MajorD
 I tugged her right over by tilting my head
  E minorEm            G+G     D MajorD
 I followed her blind, to an old record store
                         A augmentedA
 While one of her friends found a way through the door


     E minorEm      B minorBm      G+G
 In the dark we played records with everyone high
 E minorEm     B minorBm       G+G
 I held her hands when the police drove by
   E minorEm       B minorBm    G+G
 She asked me bout' home if I missed it at all
                        D MajorD
 I thought Mama oh Mom I've been meaning to call

B minorBm D MajorD
B minorBm D MajorD D MajorD

   D MajorD
 The band went home, I stayed behind
      G+G            D MajorD
 I took the Muskegon Ferry from the Milwaukee line
  G+G             D MajorD
 Arrived at her door to clutch all her hearts strings
    A augmentedA                   D MajorD
 We're driving up north to forget everything

  D MajorD
 I followed her to beaches, we slept on the dunes
  G+G             D MajorD
 I still see her eyes lit by fragments of moons
   G+G          D MajorD
 Not crescent, nor full inside of the storm
    A augmentedA                     D MajorD
 She'd dive and resurface each time changing form


   E minorEm     B minorBm     G+G
 But time kept insisting we both sink like rocks
 E minorEm     B minorBm   G+G
 Time out of water resumed on the clocks
   E minorEm       B minorBm     G+G
 She slept while the second hand spun on the wall
                        D MajorD
 I thought Mama Oh Mom I've been meaning to call

B minorBm D MajorD
B minorBm D MajorD D MajorD


  D MajorD
 I didn't wanna lose her, I bought two tickets home
  G+G          D MajorD
 We left Copper Harbor scared to be alone
 G+G              D MajorD
 Standing there watching our feet off the plane
   G+G            D MajorD
 Each step she took further I was less the same

    D MajorD
 I was running from whoever I was at the time
    G+G           D MajorD
 I went running right into the middle of a crime
    G+G                D MajorD
 I was clawing in the quicksand just to get above the grime
     G+G              D MajorD
 Just to come up for some air, I was climbing to climb
    G+G               D MajorD
 And I didn't mean to hurt you when I turned on a dime
   A augmentedA
 And just within a day you were well on your way


    E minorEm     B minorBm     G+G
 And I went to the river where all sinners meet
       E minorEm   B minorBm      G+G
 Watched the animals run from headlights in the street
      E minorEm        G+G      B minorBm
 I thought I'm like all the rest, I just wanna be impressed
      E minorEm      G+G         B minorBm
 You gotta be above someone to watch them fall

 E minorEm   B minorBm     G+G
 Emily I've been meaning
 E minorEm   B minorBm     G+G
 Emily I've been meaning
 E minorEm   B minorBm     G+G     D MajorD
 Emily I've been mea..ning to call

D MajorD E minorEm
D MajorD E minorEm
D MajorD E minorEm
G+G D MajorD
