Music & Lyrics: Michael Stipe - Peter Buck - Michael Mills Album: Around the sun (2004) [Intro] |C | [Verse 1]
You Fthrew away the baAmllast and you Dmrowed your boat ashCore Didn't Gmyou now, didn't Cyou? You Fmade your ultimAmatum, too Dmbig to ignoCre Didn't Gmyou now, didn't Cyou?
[Pre-Chorus]
So you Amworked out your excuses Turned awaDy and shut the door The Amworld's too vast for us now And you Dwanted to explore
[Chorus]
It's a Emlong, long, long roaCd And I Emdon't know which way to gCo If you Emoffered me your hand again I'd Dmhave to walk awCay Bb
[Verse 2]
When I Fsaw you at the streAmet fair, you Dmcalled out my naCme Didn't Gmyou now, didn't Cyou? You Fsaid we could start oAmver, try and Dmmake it all okayC Didn't Gmyou now, didn't Cyou?
[Pre-Chorus]
So our Ampast has been rewritten And you Dthrew away the pen You Amsaid that I was useless But now you'll Dtake me in again
[Chorus]
Well, EmJesus loves me fiCne And your Emwords fall flat this tiCme Was it Emmy imagination, or Dmdid I hear you saCy "We don't Bbhave a prayer between us."
[Verse 3]
FDidn't you belAmieve that I have Dmfinally turned awaCy? Didn't Gmyou now, didn't Cyou? FAnything to Amhold onto to help Dmme through my dayC Didn't Gmyou now, didn't Cyou?
[Bridge]
But AmJesus loves me fiDne But his Amwords fall flat this tiDme
[Chorus]
It's a longEm, long, long roadC And I Emdon't know which way to gCo If you Emoffered me your world, did you Cthink I'd really stay? If you Emoffered me the heavens, I would Chave to turn away
[Outro]
Was it Emmy imagination, or Dmdid I hear you saCy "We don't Bbhave a prayer between us." Didn't Bbyou now, didn't you, now? Didn't Bbyou now, didn't youF
