E                   G6   Em11/F#  E
as we cruised across the Canadian border

                                            G6    Em11/F#  E
you reached into your handbag, pulled out a micro-cassette recorder,

     G6   Em11/F#      E
i had no idea what you meant.

   G6           Em11/F#      E
or maybe it's supposed to be self-evident.

              C    Cadd9/B
but i've gone feral,

    Cadd9/A           G6  Em11/F#-E*
and i don't speak the language anymore.

C            Cadd9/B       Cadd9/A  G6  Em11/F#   E
we're headed deep into the forest, 

                           D                   E             D
the engine shudders, like a dying man, when you reach out to grab my hand,

A#                         A
you can bring out all your weapons,

                        E
you can't make me go to war.

E                              G6       Em11/F#       E*
long winding Canadian highways, innumerable evergreens.

E
weather forecast on the AM radio

           G6           Em11/F#     E
says we'll be expecting highs in the low teens

                                     G6
when i mouth my silent curses at you, 

Em11/F#     E
i can see my breath.

                                             G6
i hope the stars don't even come out tonight.

      Em11/F#        E
i hope we both freeze to death.

C           Cadd9/B     Cadd9/A      G6                  Em11/F#  E*
look at the person i've turned into, tell me, how do you like him now?

C            Cadd9/B        Cadd9/A   G6    Em11/F#-E*
no standards of any kind to break, no creeds to disavow

E                         D
i am right here where you want me

E                      D
do what you brought me out here for.

        A#            A
you can arm me to the teeth.
