Intro: G G

Am Am
Down by the lake
We were overturning pebbles
G G
And upending all the animals alight
Am Am
And I took a drag
From your cigarette and pinched it
'Tween my finger and my thumb
G G
Till it died
Am Am G G
And the sun burned low on the radio
Am Am
Say that you will
Say you will or will you won't
Or you whatever you prevaricate
G G
Your whole life, don't you?
Am Am
This much I can say:
I would've waited till the oceans
Fell Away and all the sunken cities
G G
Would reveal themselves to you
Am Am
But you won't, will you?
G G
Because you never do
Am Am
And the sun burned through
G G
Sweet as honeydew
Em Em
And I
D D C C
Seventeen and terminally fey
Bm Bm Am Am
I wrote it down and threw it all away
C C
Never gave a thought to what I'd paid
Em Em
And you
D D C C
Sibylline, reclining in your pew
Bm Bm Am Am
You tattered me, you tethered me to you
C C
The things you would and wouldn't do
G G
To tell the truth I never had a clue

Am Am G G

Am Am
Now we arise
To curse those young suburban villains
G G
And their ill-begotten children from the lawn
Am Am
Come to me now
And on this station wagon window
Set the ghost of your two footprints
G G
That they might haunt me when you're gone
Am Am
And when the light broke dawn
G G
You were forever gone
Am Am
But I remember you, you were full
G G
You were full and sweet as honeydew
Em Em
And I
D D C C
Seventeen and terminally fey
Bm Bm Am Am
I wrote it down and threw it all away
C C
And never gave a thought to what I paid
Em Em D D C C
And you all sibylline, reclining in your pew
Bm Bm Am Am
You tattered me, you tethered me to you
C C
The things you would and wouldn't do
G G
You noticed how I never had a clue
Never had a clue
You were full and sweet as honeydew
You were full and sweet as honeydew
