D
To dream as if lovers of the ultra-familiar.

                                  G   A
Hover above her as she's checking you out.

D                      G
Wander around her, but never sleep with her.

E                                G             D
Watch her through windows as she pours herself out.

D
You're scoring her shipwrecks with fiddles and dobros.

                                  G   A
Laugh at the plainclothes, police the crowd.

D                     G
Carry her under, like water or ether.

E                       G            D

E                             G
And it's written all over the face of the daughter

       D               A
of the mayor of Marble Falls.

E                                G         A      D
When she winds up in Denton Town doing the valium waltz.

D
Dream of the day when your memory is fickle.

                                  G    A
Pine for a time when your mind is made up.

D                            G
Wonder how long 'fore you're pear-shaped and wrinkled,

E                       G           D
wind up on window sills all knotted up
