Intro
Em G7 Am7 Cadd9
Verse 1
      Em                        G7
Well, we watched the starlings fly,
Am7                     Cadd9
Around the burnt-down pier, and I
Em            G7            Am7   Cadd9
Spilled my coffee on my sleeve,
Em                      G7
She wiped it with a smile,
Am7                  Cadd9
And told me I was juvenile,
Em           G7               Am7   Cadd9 
And kissed me softly on my cheek
Chorus
        Em                     Am7
And her hair danced in the breeze,
       Cadd9                 G7
Like a thousand swinging trees,
     Em           Am7              G7
In a forest lying next to stormy seas
Verse 2
      Em                     G7
Well, we watched the wintry sky,
Am7                Cadd9
Turn a shade of turquoise, I,
Em            G7             Am7    Cadd9
Whispered softly, "I feel lost, "
    Em                      G7
She turned with laughing eyes,
Am7                   Cadd9
And curled her lips towards the sky,
         Em              G7                Am7   Cadd9
And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!"
Chorus
Em                              Am7
And we laughed like a pair of fools,
     Cadd9                   G7
Like kids, they laugh at school,
    Em                Am7                         G7
And we wandered home before the day brought dusk
