[Verse]
D Dmaj7
Followed you down to the beach tonight
Bm Bsus2
Wearing two coats but nothing besides
D Dmaj7
Forget that we're away from home
Bm Bsus2 Bm
Pretend we've got a beach of our own
[Chorus]
G
Always before but never again
A
In the tall white grass where we ran and slept
Bm
I lost my head but the ideas came
Em
Sweating out words like a fevered game
G
And now that seems like it was lost in time
A
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]

D Dmaj7
Summer's so long and it's running away
Bm Bsus2
I lost my chain in the river that day
D Dmaj7
Watched that fire in the silent dark
Bm Bsus2 Bm
And i found you crying in the back of your car
[Chorus]
G
In the small hours while the embers glowed
A
And the light showed drops on your blanket folds
Bm
I let you rest from your tired life
Em
Carving that soil with your daddy's knife
G
And now it seems it was lost in time
A
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]

Followed you down to the beach tonight

Followed you down to the beach tonight
