     Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
We were young like the future We were young and always wrong
     Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
We were young like our country, learning old ways to be young

Bb majorBb   AbAb     Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb    AbAb  Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
Random driving around with you in my dilapidated car

   AbAb    Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb   AbAb    Eb MajorEb     FF
like Isadora Duncan II in impossibly long white scarves

played after "scarves" with syncopation:
E---8-----8--8-----8-----8-----8-----8----
B--10-----8-10----11----10-----8----10----
G--10----10-10----10----10----10----10----

Bb majorBb       FF    C minorCm      Eb MajorEb
Autumn leaves, diaries, Tennessee and Jeremy
Bb majorBb       FF    C minorCm     Eb MajorEb
Suddenly, willow trees, memories of Jeremy.

     Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
Like a Galapagos turtle we grow old and stay that way,
     Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
build a nest in the sand dunes, lay our eggs and walk away
Bb majorBb   AbAb     Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb    AbAb  Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
I was writing our dreams down, making maps of an unseen plane;
   AbAb    Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb   AbAb    Eb MajorEb     FF
and I noticed anomalies that you'd rather not see explained.

Bb majorBb       FF    C minorCm      Eb MajorEb
Autumn leaves, diaries, Tennessee and Jeremy
Bb majorBb       FF    C minorCm     Eb MajorEb
Suddenly, willow trees, memories of Jeremy.

  Bb majorBb   FF   Eb MajorEb      FF
We drove, canopy down, in the scalding rain

Bb majorBb         AbAb    FF
   on the one day we were  young

C minorCm                  FF
  The house we bought was really a lake

C minorCm              FF
  Otters scampered down the halls

C minorCm                FF     Eb MajorEb
  There were whirlpools in the floor and sails

    Bb majorBb             Eb MajorEb
You're alone and it's over You're alone with your gun
    Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb
