One wound-up punch of intuition lays
G D E
flat my whole take on us
Bm G Bm G
You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer
Bm G D
the tidal rabbit who came of

age before her time
Bm -> Bbm -> A (rundown)
A G D A
We could have been so good-natured if I'd relented when you insisted
Bm G D A
but we've been backed against all nature's walls far too long
Bm G D A
You felt abandoned by me I recall the sunshine as you were melting
Bm G D A
and though the comedy softens the fall they still hear us with their
G
ears to the wall
Bm G Bm G Bm G
I sold all my evil motives no icicles
D E
stuck in my hide
Bm G Bm G Bm
I'm through with riddles I know we're little
G D
just help me feel warm
E
inside.
G D
Before we take this ride and let it slide into the cracks where fall and
G D
winter collide I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love
G D A
Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind

We could have been so good-natured if you'd relented when I insisted
Bm G D A
we take a week off let the garden grow by itself
Bm G D A
and let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory nineties
Bm G D A
And though the comedy softens the fall we still fall short
G D
Before we take this ride and let it slide into the cracks where fall
and winter collide
G D
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love

Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind
