Intro: D
Em
Down by the lake
We were overturning pebbles
D
And upending all the animals alight
Em
And I took a drag
From your cigarette and pinched it
'Tween my finger and my thumb
D
Till it died
Em D
And the sun burned low on the radio
Em
Say that you will
Say you will or will you won't
Or you whatever you prevaricate
D
Your whole life, don't you?
Em
This much I can say:
I would've waited till the oceans
Fell Away and all the sunken cities
D
Would reveal themselves to you
Em
But you won't, will you?
D
Because you never do
Em
And the sun burned through
D
Sweet as honeydew
Bm
And I
A G
Seventeen and terminally fey
F#m Em
I wrote it down and threw it all away
G
Never gave a thought to what I'd paid
Bm
And you
A G
Sibylline, reclining in your pew
F#m Em
You tattered me, you tethered me to you
G
The things you would and wouldn't do
D
To tell the truth I never had a clue
Em D
Em
Now we arise
To curse those young suburban villains
D
And their ill-begotten children from the lawn
Em
Come to me now
And on this station wagon window
Set the ghost of your two footprints
D
That they might haunt me when you're gone
Em
And when the light broke dawn
D
You were forever gone
Em
But I remember you, you were full
D
You were full and sweet as honeydew
Bm
And I
A G
Seventeen and terminally fey
F#m Em
I wrote it down and threw it all away
G
And never gave a thought to what I paid
Bm A G
And you all sibylline, reclining in your pew
F#m Em
You tattered me, you tethered me to you
G
The things you would and wouldn't do
D
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
