A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
In the City of the Elms where we smoked in the stalls
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
In our rogue adolescence, we tore up the halls
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
She caught my eye across the room, with a wink and a tip of the hood
FF G+G A minorAm G+G
We waited for the moment, then we shot to the woods
♫ Verse 2:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
She smoked a makeshift pipe and carved her name in a stone
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
In the wall of an abandoned old colonial home
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Now remnants of her living days are names in a wall
FF G+G A minorAm
They'll be gone with the ashes when they crumble and fall
FF G+G A minorAm G+G
Gone with the ashes when they crumble and fall

♫ Verse 3:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
The doors were always knockin' like a train come alive
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Their names, I couldn't say, but their faces survived
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
We drank the beers and sung the cheers and wore our voices out
FF G+G A minorAm G+G
We polished off the bottle that she stole from the house
♫ Verse 4:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
And like a group of vagrants round a fire alight
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
Contented, drunk and careless, like a teenage night
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
I still remember the room in which she pulled me away
FF G+G A minorAm
And now I'm callin' out her name in a moment of grey
FF G+G A minorAm G+G
I'm callin' out her name in a moment of grey

You'll never stop the time with all the watches you own
