     D
Well I am your secret, babe
D
Watch me unfold
D
Dancing in these streets so late
G
And nobody knows
D
Nobody knows us

     D
The first time I looked at you
D
You looked at me
D
Swimming in this water so cool
G
Just like a river queen
D
Just like a river queen

    C
And I don't remember falling asleep
G
Must have been holding on tight
C
And all I can think of and all I can dream
    G
Is dancing with you at red lights

D

D

D
The sunshine state is closed
D
Look at the water on the road
D
And I'm gonna get in my boat
G
And to you I will float
D
And to you I will float

   A
I looked out my window this morning
   A
And I saw the strangest thing
   A
Everyone was walking on water, and dancing in the rain

A

   A
Oh and darling I got so jealous
       A
Just wishing you were here with me
   A
And I saw the prettiest people, they were kissing in the street
      A
They didn't care who was watching, in the middle of the street
      A
They didn't care who was watching

               A
But I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
               A
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
               A
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
           A
Raining on me, and I'm waiting on you

A (x2)

       A
Just sitting here watching the weather
     A
And I can feel the air's getting colder
               A
They say that sometimes the sunshine at the party, well she's the first one to go
 A
She doesn't give any warning,  she just gets up and goes
A
She doesn't give any warning

(chorus)

    A
Oh what would you do if I showed up
       A
On your doorstep just ready to go?
           A
Would you send me away, would you come out and play?
            A
It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today
            A
It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today

(chorus)

A
Well you stay with me, in the balcony,
           A
And we'll sink in our seas as the people all leave
A
And we can hide out as the curtain comes down
         A
And then fall asleep to the sleeping sound
D
When the morning is drawing near
A
I'll see if the coast is clear

D
D
Green eyes are better than blue
         D
I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth
D
It's enough to make me run away with you
        D
Darling green eyes are better than blue

D
She says, "This isn't easy, you know
D
Loving the hands that you ain't supposed to hold
      D
And I pray for the days when I won't sleep alone"
D
She says, "This isn't easy, you know"

(chorus)

D
Well Johnny says don't bring her down
D
'Cause when the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground
         D
You will wish that you left her the way that you'd found her
D
Now Johnny says don't bring her down

(chorus)

       D
Well I saw you in the water last night
        D
You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight
        D
When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life
         D
'Cause I saw you in the water last night

(chorus)

   Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 5
Tabbed By: Macheeoo


G
Darling I been down and out ever since you left town
G
Well I ain't been the same, no matter how I try
G
Sometimes we don't get to choose, the ones who wear the walking shoes
G
I'm just a poor boy with the blues, no that ain't nothing new


Chorus:
G
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
G
I'm gonna play with the Tragedies, singing good time harmonies
G
B. Wright don't you let me down, play that one called Sad Clown,
G
You know that one's about me, I been thinking about leaving town


Interlude:
G

G
Well sunshine she came out today, it don't matter anyways
G
'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door
G
I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing
G
One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore

Repeat Chorus!

G

G
Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins
G
Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again?
G
And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong
G
'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong

Repeat Chorus, overlap lyrics and get loud!

Today was a good day, was better than most
        F
Didn't see me no demons, didn't fight with no ghosts

Baby maybe we haven't gone crazy after all

There's only four seasons but even the best ones fall

Been drinking again, and staying up late

Hope you'll understand that it's just that time of year

There's only four seasons but these feelings are always here

And I haven't been here since I don't know when
    F
But things sure look different than they did back then
F
They're colder now, you say that's just the way that it goes

We been at this party a little too long

                F
'Cause there's only four seasons, and I'm looking for something more

F (x2)

         Gm
So let's pack our bags, get out of this town

Head up the coast where the wind knocks you down

There's only four seasons and I guess we'll be leaving soon
