[Intro]
Dadd4
[Verse 1]
Dadd4I saw her in a dream, Exiting
the bookstore lobby
Sitting on a bench on Baltimore
and reading Murakami
Dadd4/ASlick with salt beneath the
Gadd9sun, her hands now tying up her hair
BmOne pair of deeply tinted
shades reflects my unbelieving stare
Gadd9And at once, I Am taken
[Verse 2]
Dadd4She asked me what I wanted as
if one ever really knew and I said,
"Dull domestication, free from
pressure to pursue
Dadd4/AAnother love, another touch,
Gadd9another entire conversation"
BmAnd then she shut her novel
sharply and proposed a new location
Gadd9And at once, I obliged
[Verse 3]
Dadd4Details for a new protest adorn
white printer paper flyers
She says, "I feel so old admitting
counter-culture makes me tired"
Dadd4/AShe leads me into the café, her
Gadd9 intention is exact
BmIt is 104 degrees, she takes
her coffee hot and black
Gadd9And at once, I Am entranced
[Verse 4]
Dadd4She suggests we settle down,
meaning, settle down for good
She knows the perfect place on
Martha Street in her old neighbourhood
Dadd4/Aand then a taxi sounds a horn
Gadd9 and it is full of all our things
BmAnd it is parked outside the café
and the driver sounds incredibly
Gadd9Impatient
[Verse 5]
Dadd4When we merge onto the freeway,
she rolls her window down completely
The driver dials into a station
and then she smiles at me discreetly
Dadd4/AShe says, "I love this song"
Gadd9 then turns away and tracks the clouds
BmThe driver curses with
conviction while "Heavy
Metal Drummer" plays
Gadd9us out
[Ending]
Gadd9
