The Mountain Goats – Twin Human Highway Flares (Guitar)

E
You turned to me and asked me if I'd always be your boy

D A                               Asus2
As we drove across the river into western Illinois

           E
And on the railroad bridge, half a mile of solid steel

D     A                          Asus2
Wheels were spitting out sparks, scraping at the rails

B
Wind in your hair, alright

A
Sunset spilling through the rear window

E
Your white t-shirt hugging your shoulders

B
Beaded with sweat

E
On the day that I become so forgetful

A
That all of this melts away

E                             B
I will burn all the calendars that counted the years down

A                       E
To such a worthless day

E
As we walked across the parking lot towards the motel office

D A                    Asus2
We were walking with a benediction on us

          E
Light was everywhere, the building stood against the sky

D A                             Asus2
Like a monument to desperation, two floors high

B
A mile and a half from the river

A
We went back to the car to get our overnight bags

E
Sunset spilling through your earrings

              B
All over your body

E
When we shut the motel room door behind us

A
We knew we'd hit the motherlode

E                 B
On the day that I forget you

A
I hope my heart explodes
