Spring Street chords by Dar Williams

Dar Williams - Spring Street


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G

                                    Bm
I'm sorry that I left you with your questions all alone
      C             D               Bm             C
But I was too happy driving and too angry to drive home
      G                               Bm
I was thinking about the easy courage of my distant friends
          C                D                   Bm         C
They said I could let this bridge wash out and never make amends

      D                     Bm
Can I blow this small town, make a big sound
C
Like the star of a film noir postcard
Am                             Em
Can I just forget the frames I shared with you


CHORUS:
      G
And I can't believe what they're saying
                     D
They're saying I can change my mind
              Am
Start over on Spring Street
              D     Bm   C
I'm welcome anytime_______


                G                                          Bm
Well, there are Spring Street storefront daisies, floating on their neon stems
          C                 D                       Bm               C
There are new shirts on the clothes racks, should I feel like one of them
            G                               Bm
Well, I can find a small apartment, where a struggling artist died
       C               D               Bm               C
And pretend, because I pay the rent, I know that pain inside


            D                  Bm
Yeah, let's watch the tour bus stop and tell us
C
Here's the scene of a spring green life dream
Am                                   Em
Take the best part, write it in your caffeine diary


CHORUS:
      G
And I can't believe what they're saying
               D
They're saying I can leave tonight
              Am
Start over on Spring Street
              D     Bm   C
I'm welcome anytime_______


INTERLUDE:     G
           Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
           Bm    C         D     Bm  C
           Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh


          G                             Bm
This year April had a blizzard, just to show she did not care
        C                     D                        Bm                  C
And the new dead leaves, they made the trees look like children with grey hair
         G                                   Bm
But I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
      C               D             Bm             C
I'm resolved to being born and so resigned to bravery


          D                    Bm
Yeah, the one who leaves this, also grieves this
C
Too much rain on a prairie flood plain
Am                                  Em
Houses floating, love is like that, we built on the river


CHORUS:
    G
And that's to say, yeah, I'm leaving
    D
But I don't have to go there
                      Am
I don't have to go to Spring Street
                       D     Bm   Em
'Cause it's spring everywhere________

       C                                      Em
          Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
       C                                      Em
