Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
G
You carry the beach in your way too short hair
D
That you shaved off last week cause you freaked and got scared
Em D G
That when it's longer, you remind me of her
G
So you offered it up with what passed for authority,
D
A strict sort of challenge that you directed straight at me
Em D G
You said "forget her, I don't care what you two were"
C
So it's a trick on your ego
D
A two-step off tempo
Em
A solid gold bracelet
G
Under lights in a window
D G
In some shopping mall where I never go
G
You play coy and count tiles, drag your toes through the water
D
Raise your eyes, bite your lip and my mind's in the gutter
Em D G
You move at me and take my face in your hands
G
I feel light bulbs explode and a fire crack thunder sends
D
The slow seismic shift, the sprawling cloud cover
Em D G
But when we're finished I feel awful again
C
So it's the same sorry story
D
Just the cast changes nightly
Em
It skips like a record
G
But it glows like a movie
D G
You're the country sky that I never see
G D C G
Shake in your voice makes me feel empty and ugly
D C
All scattered anger like a windstorm howling violently
C
And I wanna fade out
D
And wake up somewhere else
G
Where no face is familiar
C
And I'm left by myself
C
To keep plugging away
D
On my own wasted time
G C
To eat badly and spend all my money and write
C
To not feel too guilty
D
To be tired at night
G
Since I'm not fixing things here
C
I'll leave them behind
D G
So you make your decision cause I'm through making mine
G
Now I walk where the street swallows light like it's water
D
I see the slant of your smirk on every kid at the corner
Em D G
But if you called, I'd never know what to say
C D
So I just hope you never will
G
Cause things are easier that way
You carry the beach in your way too short hair
D
That you shaved off last week cause you freaked and got scared
Em D G
That when it's longer, you remind me of her
G
So you offered it up with what passed for authority,
