Cmaj7 G (x2)
Cmaj7 G
All my fingers ran off and I, I just couldn't follow them
Cmaj7 G
Your eyelash was an island, and your eyes were someone's friend
Am G
Who could there have been oh oh oh woh
Am G
Well i heard it was a real sweet thing
Cmaj7
Now when my smells grew some more smells,
G
and I just couldn't smell them all la de da de da de dum
Cmaj7 G
I smell my sister in the winter and my father in the fall
Am G
Cross sand and snow oh oh oh woh
Am G
A tired moon, oh oh oh who
Am G(single strum)
Oh oh oh who...
