Intro:
Am
In a motel room in Colorado Springs
F
We learned what impatience brings
AmF
To women who fool around
Am
That summer was a strung-out mess
F
And you swore to God you had the perfect fix
AmF
And a plan to get us out
Am2GF
You said, "Don't you turn around"
Am2GF
"Leave your strings at the door and just walk out"
AFAFAm
I sat in the living room
F
And watched your girlfriend pack her things
AmF
To move away from you
Am
Our record, Buffy Sainte-Marie
F
And we held hands and cried
AmF
'Til we could see anything
Am2GF
You said, "Don't you turn around"
Am2GF
"You wouldn't like what you found out here anyhow"
AFAFAm
So I took a redeye from the Bay
F
Watched you watch the taxi
AmF
Pull away from Mission Street
Am
The next time we would meet
F
Would be a train wreck of nerves and sexless sleep
AmF
Mistakes made into hymns
Am2GF
I said, "Don't you make a sound"
Am2GF
"Nothing's careful in desire, especially now"
AFAF
BRIDGE:
Dm
There were no accidents
GFG
We asked for this, but the South is not out West
DmG
There's nothing gentle about our stomachs full of gin
FG
We are alive and we have no rest
GAm
Ooooooh
FAFAm
In a farmhouse in the Piedmont hills
F
We learned what impatience wills
AmF
To women who have fooled around
Am
If thievery has a voice to sing
F
It's the choice and sound of moving hands
AmF
Over social wedding rings
Am2GF
You said, "Don't you turn around"
Am2GFAm
"Leave your strings at the door and just walk out"
