Intro:
E minorEm G7G7 Am7Am7 Cadd9Cadd9

Verse 1:
   E minorEm            G7G7
Well, we watched the starlings fly,
Am7Am7           Cadd9Cadd9
Around the burnt-down pier, and I
E minorEm      G7G7      Am7Am7  Cadd9Cadd9
Spilled my coffee on my sleeve,
E minorEm           G7G7
She wiped it with a smile,
Am7Am7         Cadd9Cadd9
And told me I was juvenile,
E minorEm      G7G7        Am7Am7  Cadd9Cadd9
And kissed me softly on my cheek

Chorus:
    E minorEm           Am7Am7
And her hair danced in the breeze,
    Cadd9Cadd9         G7G7
Like a thousand swinging trees,
   E minorEm      Am7Am7       G7G7
In a forest lying next to stormy seas

Verse 2:
   E minorEm           G7G7
Well, we watched the wintry sky,
Am7Am7        Cadd9Cadd9
Turn a shade of turquoise, I,
E minorEm      G7G7       Am7Am7  Cadd9Cadd9
Whispered softly, "I feel lost, "
  E minorEm           G7G7
She turned with laughing eyes,
Am7Am7          Cadd9Cadd9
And curled her lips towards the sky,
     E minorEm       G7G7        Am7Am7  Cadd9Cadd9
And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!"

Chorus:
E minorEm               Am7Am7
And we laughed like a pair of fools,
   Cadd9Cadd9          G7G7
Like kids, they laugh at school,
  E minorEm        Am7Am7             G7G7
And we wandered home before the day brought dusk
