[Intro]
C Em G C Em G
[Verse 1]
C Em G C Well I ain’t written a love song in so long as your hair leads down your spine Em G But I don't mind a few lines tonight, I'll regret it for the rest of time C Em G Let your hips and your lips and your fingertips slip against the city streets C Em G Seepin' in again, sleepin' in while my friends get high C Em G On the edge of the West Side Highway
[Verse 2]
C Em G Did you ever make it back to Byron Bay? C The day that you told me to quit drinkin' Em G And thinkin' that I's gonna die before thirty, your mom was so worried about C Em All those kids in the house tearin' picture frames down G C Em G Our fathers were never around when we were younger
[Chorus]
C G So let me go I saw you on the river's edge G Draggin' on a plastic cigarette Em With your swim top still wet C G So let it go, meetin' you out on the coast D You hate the smell of real smoke Em C Em G So why'd you always keep it so close?
[Verse 3]
C Em G You were collecting shells out on the bayshore you know I was a shell before C Em G Deep in the hands of another my brother had told me to leave, but I didn't believe C Em G That evil would mean some people you meet out in Queens
[Verse 4]
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, and scribbled some poem C Em G That I know you'll never read
[Chorus]
C G So let me go I saw you on the river's edge G Draggin' on a plastic cigarettes Em With your swim top still wet C G So let it go, meetin' you out on the coast D You hate the smell of real smoke Em So why'd you always keep me so close?
[Interlude]
C Em G C Em G
[Outro]
C G So let me go, I saw you on the river's edge D Draggin' on a plastic cigarette
