Chorus 1:
C majorC        FF
On a Wednesday I stumbled in
   G+G       C majorC
To a side street café
C majorC         FF
Where a cowboy is singing
G+G          C majorC
To a crowd of older age


C majorC
They tapped their Velcro
FF         G+G
Feet on the floor
      C majorC
Half a beat - delayed
C majorC       FF     G+G C majorC
Sippin' their sweet lemonade
C majorC       FF     G+G C majorC
Sippin' their sweet lemonade

Verse 1:
C majorC          FF
Then suddenly I'm a girl of three
G+G    C majorC
Not much older
 C majorC          FF          G+G
I learned to carry the weight of the world
   C majorC
On my shoulders
C majorC          FF
Wanna give it back, give it back
   G+G
Happily
C majorC          FF
This weight was not meant
G+G      C majorC
For you and me
C majorC          FF
This weight was not meant
  G+G    C majorC
For you and me

Chorus 2:
A minorAm
Woven threads in a tapestry
  C majorC
Of delightful mystery
A minorAm
Pieced together by wrinkled hands of time
  C majorC
The colors sometimes bleed
A minorAm
Against sun-bleached walls the quilt
       C majorC
She speaks a patchwork symphony
FF                 G+G
We are here, we are simply here to be
G+G   C majorC
Oh-ho oh


Verse 2:
C majorC            FF
He says innocence is the best defense
   G+G         C majorC
For a heart that's been broken
C majorC          FF
She lets herself be still and soft
G+G       C majorC
She is cracked open
C majorC            FF
Wants to hold his hand, hold his hand
G+G       C majorC
Let herself be seen
C majorC         FF
There's space in between
   G+G    C majorC
Where they'll meet
C majorC         FF
There's space in between
   G+G    C majorC
Where they'll meet


Verse 3:
C majorC             FF
Sitting slumped amidst the Sunday swamp
G+G   C majorC
of family
   C majorC         FF
They send him off with snapshots
G+G    C majorC
To the Army
   C majorC       FF
Wanna take him back, take him back
G+G     C majorC
Courageously
   C majorC      FF
This war was not meant
  G+G      C majorC
For boys of nineteen
   C majorC      FF
This war was not meant
  G+G    C majorC
For you and me

Our sweet lemon-a-a-a-ade
