Intro:
Em G7 Am7 Cadd9

Verse 1:
      Em                        G7
Well, we watched the starlings fly,
Am7                     Cadd9
Around the burnt-down pier, and I
Em            G7            Am7   Cadd9
Spilled my coffee on my sleeve,
Em                      G7
She wiped it with a smile,
Am7                  Cadd9
And told me I was juvenile,
Em           G7               Am7   Cadd9 
And kissed me softly on my cheek

Chorus:
        Em                     Am7
And her hair danced in the breeze,
       Cadd9                 G7
Like a thousand swinging trees,
     Em           Am7              G7
In a forest lying next to stormy seas

Verse 2:
      Em                     G7
Well, we watched the wintry sky,
Am7                Cadd9
Turn a shade of turquoise, I,
Em            G7             Am7    Cadd9
Whispered softly, "I feel lost, "
    Em                      G7
She turned with laughing eyes,
Am7                   Cadd9
And curled her lips towards the sky,
         Em              G7                Am7   Cadd9
And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!"

Chorus:
Em                              Am7
And we laughed like a pair of fools,
     Cadd9                   G7
Like kids, they laugh at school,
    Em                Am7                         G7
And we wandered home before the day brought dusk
