E MajorE
E MajorE
E MajorE as we cruised across the Canadian border
E MajorE you reached into your handbag, pulled out a micro-cassette recorder, started quoting Tolstoy into the machine,
E MajorE i had no idea what you meant. i guess i'm supposed to figure these things out,
E MajorE or maybe it's supposed to be self-evident.
BB but i've gone feral, E* and i don't speak the language anymore.
E MajorE we're headed deep into the forest, i've got the pedal to the floor.
D MajorD the engine shudders, like a dying man, when you reach out to grab my hand,
A augmentedA you can bring out all your weapons,
E MajorE you can't make me go to war. E*
E MajorE
E MajorE E* long winding Canadian highways, innumerable evergreens.
E MajorE weather forecast on the AM radio
E MajorE says we'll be expecting highs in the low teens
G6G6 when i mouth my silent curses at you, Em11/E i can see my breath.
G6G6 i hope the stars don't even come out tonight. Em11/E i hope we both freeze to death. E* look at the person i've turned into, tell me, how do you like him now? E* no standards of any kind to break, no creeds to disavow
D MajorD i am right here where you want me
D MajorD do what you brought me out here for.
A augmentedA you can arm me to the teeth. (muted strumming)
E MajorE you can't make me go to war. E*
E MajorE E*
E MajorE E*
E MajorE End with string breaking power!
