      Em                        G7
Well, we watched the starlings fly,

Am7                     Cadd9
Around the burnt-down pier, and I

Em            G7            Am7   Cadd9
Spilled my coffee on my sleeve,

Em                      G7
She wiped it with a smile,

Am7                  Cadd9
And told me I was juvenile,

Em           G7               Am7   Cadd9 
And kissed me softly on my cheek
[Chorus]
        Em                     Am7
And her hair danced in the breeze,

       Cadd9                 G7
Like a thousand swinging trees,

     Em           Am7              G7
In a forest lying next to stormy seas
[Verse 2]
      Em                     G7
Well, we watched the wintry sky,

Am7                Cadd9
Turn a shade of turquoise, I,

Em            G7             Am7    Cadd9
Whispered softly, "I feel lost, "

    Em                      G7
She turned with laughing eyes,

Am7                   Cadd9
And curled her lips towards the sky,

         Em              G7                Am7   Cadd9
And said, "get your map out, then, you knob!"
[Chorus]
Em                              Am7
And we laughed like a pair of fools,

     Cadd9                   G7
Like kids, they laugh at school,

    Em                Am7                         G7
And we wandered home before the day brought dusk
