Intro: D MajorD  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA  Em/GEm/G Em/A  G+G  x2

D MajorD               Asus4Asus4      A augmentedA
the garter snake passed lazily through the tall yellow-headed sourgrass
Em/GEm/G      Em/A       G+G
there was cold, clear water in a tall, clean glass
D MajorD                 Asus4Asus4         A augmentedA
the sunlight hit the sides and it came through the water tilted
Em/GEm/G
i saw the condensation on your hand
G+G
i could feel the glaciers melting

D MajorD          A augmentedA
and a warm, soft wind
D MajorD          G+G
covered up everything
D MajorD             A augmentedA         D MajorD
on the day your love came screaming through me

D MajorD              Asus4Asus4     A augmentedA
you had oranges and lemons in a canvas bag beside you
Em/GEm/G         Em/A     G+G
and seven different kinds of light welling up inside of you
D MajorD                  Asus4Asus4
you smeared citrus pulp all over me, it felt okay
Em/GEm/G     Em/A       G+G
good old east rutherford three thousand miles away

D MajorD               A augmentedA
i felt the warm surge blast my mind
D MajorD        G+G
coming in from behind
D MajorD             A augmentedA         D MajorD
on the day your love came screaming through me

Break: D MajorD  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA  Em/GEm/G Em/A  G+G  x2

D MajorD           A augmentedA
in the fresh light of day
D MajorD            G+G
i felt something falling away
D MajorD             A augmentedA        D MajorD
on the day your love came screaming through me
