[Verse]
C# C#maj7
Followed you down to the beach tonight
A#m A#sus2
Wearing two coats but nothing besides
C# C#maj7
Forget that we're away from home
A#m A#sus2 A#m
Pretend we've got a beach of our own
[Chorus]
F#
Always before but never again
G#
In the tall white grass where we ran and slept
A#m
I lost my head but the ideas came
D#m
Sweating out words like a fevered game
F#
And now that seems like it was lost in time
G#
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]

[Verse]
C# C#maj7
Summer's so long and it's running away
A#m A#sus2
I lost my chain in the river that day
C# C#maj7
Watched that fire in the silent dark
A#m A#sus2 A#m
And i found you crying in the back of your car
[Chorus]
F#
In the small hours while the embers glowed
G#
And the light showed drops on your blanket folds
A#m
I let you rest from your tired life
D#m
Carving that soil with your daddy's knife
F#
And now it seems it was lost in time
G#
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]

Followed you down to the beach tonight
