Metric - The governess

^EmWho did you say you were? I didn't catch your name ^EmFalling down to earth Down from a higher plane ^EmOh, it's been decades Say, what did you see? ^EmOh, I've been so lonely Won't you keep me company?

^EmDo you remember me? We met out on the farm ^EmBy the fire, you spoke to me And held me in your arms ^EmThe songs you played for me I long to understand ^EmAll along the watchtower And castles made of sand

^CWhen there was a ^Amwilderness, we w^Emandered wild and free ^CGuilt, she is the g^Amoverness that g^Emuides me back to grief ^CWhat if we were ^Amdumb enough to s^Empend eternity ^CGathering the g^Amarbage wa^Emshed up on the be^Aach?

^AAhhh Em slide 1x

^EmDo you remember me? We spoke by telephone ^EmThe bad connection had a meaning of its own ^EmOf all the good and all the stupid shit I've done ^EmThe worst was all for me Not hurting anyone

^CWhen there was a^Am wilderness, I wan^Emdered wild and free ^CGuilt, she is th^Ame governess that g^Emuides me back to grief ^CWish that I was ^Amold enough to end ^Emthe century ^CGather all the g^Amarbage wa^Emshed up on the be^Aach

^AAhhh
