D
I was out there counting Mississippis
Dsus2
You were smoking on a cigarette and playing with a rock
Gmaj7
I was saying that I'm scared to death
G
That all I'm ever gonna be is everything that I'm not
Em
I said, "Man, I think I got too high"
G Gmaj7
You just pointed up to that blue sky
D
You were drumming something on the steering wheel
Dsus2
I never heard you laugh like that, I never heard you sing
Gmaj7
You were saying every time you meet somebody you think you could love
G
You end up running like a sink
Em
Lookin' for a hill you could die on
Gmaj7
Running out of things to get high on
[Refrão]
Em G D
Well, I think if we were younger, it's exactly what we'd do
Gmaj7
Be dumb enough to get stuck in a radio monsoon

But the whole world could be burning
D
And I'd be the last to know
Em
And when I lose my memories
Gmaj7
This'll be the last to go
G
[Verso 2]
D
I was chasing Tennessee
D
Got used to getting high and mean

And you were out there somewhere being loud
Gmaj7
You said "Maybe if we met, I think I would've been your friend"

So we just keep driving with the roof off
G
Kickin' back your seat and take your shoes off
[Refrão]

Well, I think when we get older we could make use of this land

Move into a metal house, grow flowers out of sand

I'd move to Alabama if it meant that we'd be close

I'd probably lose my mind but you'd still be the last to go

But before you, I knew nothing at all

[Refrão]
Em G D
I think that all we have is in this radio monsoon
Gmaj7 Em
So let's wait until the black sky turns back into something blue

Em Gmaj7
So God, take everything, but leave the gift of getting old
G D
