D MajorD
To dream as if lovers of the ultra-familiar.
G+G A augmentedA
Hover above her as she's checking you out.
D MajorD G+G
Wander around her, but never sleep with her.
E MajorE G+G D MajorD
Watch her through windows as she pours herself out.
D MajorD
You're scoring her shipwrecks with fiddles and dobros.
G+G A augmentedA
Laugh at the plainclothes, police the crowd.
D MajorD G+G
Carry her under, like water or ether.
E MajorE G+G D MajorD
Spirit her off when the music's too loud.
CHORUS
E MajorE G+G
And it's written all over the face of the daughter
D MajorD A augmentedA
of the mayor of Marble Falls.
E MajorE G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
When she winds up in Denton Town doing the valium waltz.
D MajorD
Dream of the day when your memory is fickle.
G+G A augmentedA
Pine for a time when your mind is made up.
D MajorD G+G
Wonder how long 'fore you're pear-shaped and wrinkled,
E MajorE G+G D MajorD
wind up on window sills all knotted up
CHORUS
My first tab. I couldn't find this anywhere online.
