[Intro]
(finger pick)
A E Bm7/A D x2
[Verse 1]
(continue finger picking)
To Acheat on Maine Eislands — days of Bm7/Alaughter, nights of sDighing
To Alove without Eceasing — flowering Bm7/Aorchards, salty Dsea-things
To Asay without Eshyness “unreal Bm7/Acity, you have kDilled me”
[Chorus]
(strum)
When you wF#5alked out on E5her love was it Bm7/Aeasy? D
When I F#5left him while sE5leeping was I Bm7/Adreaming? D
[Verse 2]
(finger pick)
We Atake each night's Ejourney to the Bm7/Ahotel in a Dhurry
Where we Alove without Eworry on a Bm7/Abed that's five days Ddirty
And we Aread without Eirony from a Bm7/Abook my husband Dbought for me
[Chorus]
(strum)
When I F#5fell on the cE5oncrete it was Bm7/Alovely D
Because you could F#5see what's been rE5unning so Bm7/Ahot in me D
But when I F#5fell on the cE5oncrete, you went Bm7/Awhite as a sDheet
And wished that F#5nothing in this E5world would ever Bm7/Ahurt me. Well, keep wDishing
[Verse 3]
(finger pick or lightly strum)
Because when I Alook in my Efuture, I don't Bm7/Asee you and don't Dwish to
Idle Atalk made when I'm Elying by your Bm7/Aside on some Maine Disland
It's too fAunny to me, hEoney, so let's dBm7/Arop it D
If you F#5really want to lE5ove me, well, then Bm7/Ado it D
If you F#5really want to lE5ove me, well, then Bm7/Ado it D
