Verse 1

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

age before her time.

Bm                 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 through the comedy softens the fall, they still hear us with their
G
ears to the wall.

Verse 2

Bm                          D           E
I sold all my evil motives, no icicles stuck in my hide.
Bm                                      D                        E
I'm through with riddles, i know we're little just help me feel warm inside.

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

We could have been so good-natured if you'd relented when i'd insisted,
         G                           D        A              Bm
we take a week off, let the garden grow by itself,

                G                 D                 A
And through the comedy softens the fall, we still fall short.

Before we take this ride and let it slide into the cracks where fall

and winter colide.

I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
