Intro: D
EmDown by the lake
We were overturning pebbles
And upending all the animals alighDt
EmAnd I took a drag
From your cigarette and pinched it
'Tween my finger and my thumb
Till it diDed
And the Emsun burned low on the rDadio
EmSay that you will
Say you will or will you won't
Or you whatever you prevaricate
Your whole lDife, don't you?
EmThis much I can say:
I would've waited till the oceans
Fell Away and all the sunken cities
Would reveal themDselves to you
But you wEmon't, will you?
Because you neDver do
And the Emsun burned through
Sweet as honeydDew
And BmI
ASeventeen and terminally fGey
IF#m wrote it down and threw it all aEmway
Never gave a thought to what I'Gd paid
And Bmyou
ASibylline, reclining in your pGew
F#mYou tattered me, you tethered meEm to you
The things you would and wouldn'Gt do
To tell the truth I never had a cDlue
Em D
EmNow we arise
To curse those young suburban villains
And their ill-begotten children from the lDawn
EmCome to me now
And on this station wagon window
Set the ghost of your two footprints
That they might hDaunt me when you're gone
And when the Emlight broke dawn
You were fDorever gone
But I reEmmember you, you were full
You were full and sweet as honDeydew
AndBm I
ASeventeen and terminally Gfey
F#mI wrote it down and threw it alEml away
And never gave a thought toG what I paid
And yBmou all sibAylline, reclining in your Gpew
F#mYou tattered me, you tethered me to yEmou
The things you would and wouldn't Gdo
You noticed how I never had a cDlue
Never had a clue
You were full and sweet as honeydew
You were full and sweet as honeydew
