[Verse 1]
C               Fmaj7
When I saw the first time

      G           C  Fmaj7
The thunder came crashing

C              Fmaj7
Your new blue eyeliner

G          C      Fmaj7
Caught my distraction

Am           Am/G
Like we were two lovers

Fmaj7
Forming from friction

G                 F  C
Your mouth caught my ear

      G   C   F   C  G
With such perfect diction

Fmaj7                  C
There I let you tie my hands back

     G
And take me
[Chorus]
       Fmaj7      C        G
Oh Lorraine, on a Saturday morning

    Dm                  G            C
Oh Lorraine, with your soft burning hands
[Verse 2]
C          Fmaj7
We fell asleep in

     G           C  Fmaj7
The back of the warehouse

   C            Fmaj7
I woke to you needing

     G        C Fmaj7
And covering my mouth

 Am           Am/G
Like we were hummingbirds

Fmaj7
Screaming at ravens

      G          F  C
You started to move me

      G  C  F  C  G
From fact into fable

Fmaj7                   C         G
There I let you take me under the table
[Chorus]
     Fmaj7        C        G
Oh Lorraine, on a Saturday morning

    Dm                  G            C
Oh Lorraine, with your soft burning hands
