capo 5 — sounds 5 semitones higherIntro
Verse
Well I ain’t written a love song in so long as your hair leads down your spine
But I don't mind a few lines tonight, I'll regret it for the rest of time
Let your hips and your lips and your fingertips slip against the city streets
Seeping in again, sleeping in while my friends get high on the edge of Westside Highway
Verse
Did you ever make it back to Byron Bay?
The day that you told me to quit drinking
And thinkin' that I's gonna die before thirty, your mom was so worried about
All those kids in the house tearing picture frames down
Our fathers were never around when we were younger
Chorus
N.C. C
So let me go I saw you on the river's edge
Dragging on a plastic cigarette
D* Em
With your swim top still wet
So let it go, meetin' you out on the coast
You hate the smell of real smoke
So why'd you always keep it so close?
Verse
You were collecting shells out on the bayshore you know I was a shell before
Deep in the hands of another my brother had told me to leave, but I didn't believe
The evil beneath some people you meet out in Queens
Verse
The way the rain came down the other day in Byron Bay
Made me feel so alone, so I just went home, and scribbled some poem that I know you'll never read
Chorus
N.C. C
So let it go I saw you on the river's edge
Dragging on a plastic cigarettes
D* Em
With your swim top still wet
So let me go, meeting you out on the coast
You hate the smell of real smoke
Why'd you always keep it so close?
Outro
Let it go I saw you on the river's edge
Dragging on a plastic cigarette
D*
With your swim top still wet
