[Intro]
C Em G
C Em G
C Em G
[Verse]
C Em G I ain’t written a love song in so long as your hair leads down your spine C Em G If you don’t mind, being mine for the night, or the rest of time, C Em G Let your hips and lips and your fingertips slip against the city streets C Em G Seeping in again, I'm sleeping in while my friends get high on the edge of Westside Highway
C Em G
[Verse]
C Em G Did you ever make it back to Byron Bay? C The day that you told me to quit drinking Em G And thinking that I's gonna die before thirty, your mom was so worried about C Em All us kids in the house tearing picture frames down G Cause' our fathers were never around when we were younger
C Em G
[Chorus]
N.C. C So let it go I saw you on the river's edge G Dragging on a plastic cigarette D* Em With your swim top still wet C G So let it go, I'm meeting you out on the coast D You hate the smell of real smoke Em Why'd you always keep it so cold?
C G D Em
[Verse]
C Em G We're collecting shells out on the bayshore you know I was a shell before C Em G Deep in the hands of another my brother told me to leave, but I didn't believe C Em G the evil beneath some people you meet out in Queens C Em G The way the rain came down the other day in Byron Bay C Em G Made me feel so alone, so I just went home, scribbled some poem that I know that she'll never read
C Em G
[Chorus]
N.C. C So let it go I saw you on the river's edge G Dragging on a plastic cigarette D* Em With your swim top still wet C G So let it go, I'm meeting you out on the coast D You hate the smell of real smoke Em Why'd you always keep it so cold?
C G D Em
C G D Em
[Outro]
C G D* Em Let it go I saw you on the river's edge C Let it go I saw you on the river's edge G Dragging on a plastic cigarette D* With your swim top still wet
