D [Verse]
Em Down by the lake
We were overturning pebbles
D And upending all the animals alight
Em And I took a drag
From your cigarette and pinched it 'Tween my finger and my thumb
D Till it died
EmD And the sun burned low on the radio
Em Say that you will
Say you will or will you won't Or you whatever you prevaricate
D Your whole life, don't you?
Em This much I can say:
I would've waited till the oceans Fell Away and all the sunken cities
D Would reveal themselves to you
Em But you won't, will you?
D Because you never do
Em And the sun burned through
D Sweet as honeydew
 [Chorus]
Bm And I
AG Seventeen and terminally fey
F#mEm I wrote it down and threw it all away
G Never gave a thought to what I'd paid
Bm And you
AG Sibylline, reclining in your pew
F#mEm You tattered me, you tethered me to you
G The things you would and wouldn't do
D To tell the truth I never had a clue
EmD [Verse]
Em Now we arise
To curse those young suburban villains
D And their ill-begotten children from the lawn
Em Come to me now
And on this station wagon window Set the ghost of your two footprints
D That they might haunt me when you're gone
Em And when the light broke dawn
D You were forever gone
Em But I remember you, you were full
D You were full and sweet as honeydew
 [Chorus]
Bm And I
AG Seventeen and terminally fey
F#mEm I wrote it down and threw it all away
G And never gave a thought to what I paid
BmAG And you all sibylline, reclining in your pew
F#mEm You tattered me, you tethered me to you
G The things you would and wouldn't do
D You noticed how I never had a clue
Never had a clue
