[D] And it's gonna tell you [Em] things [D] that I [C] still love you too much [D] to say
[G] The sky was [Bm] just a purple [Am] bruss, the ground [G] was Zion
And [D] you fell all [Gm] around [Am] the [D] town [C] until you looked the [G] same

[G] And you drink till you [C] drool
[G] Well [C] [Bm] it's a [G] story of flatter
[C] You [Bm] stretch him [E] out like a [Em] safe
