Intro
A# Gm A# Gm
[Verse]
A# A#maj7
Followed you down to the beach tonight
Gm Gsus2
Wearing two coats but nothing besides
A# A#maj7
Forget that we're away from home
Gm Gsus2 Gm
Pretend we've got a beach of our own
[Chorus]
D#
Always before but never again
F
In the tall white grass where we ran and slept
Gm
I lost my head but the ideas came
Cm
Sweating out words like a fevered game
D#
And now that seems like it was lost in time
F
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]
A# Gm A# Gm
[Verse]
A# A#maj7
Summer's so long and it's running away
Gm Gsus2
I lost my chain in the river that day
A# A#maj7
Watched that fire in the silent dark
Gm Gsus2 Gm
And i found you crying in the back of your car
[Chorus]
D#
In the small hours while the embers glowed
F
And the light showed drops on your blanket folds
Gm
I let you rest from your tired life
Cm
Carving that soil with your daddy's knife
D#
And now it seems it was lost in time
F
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]

Followed you down to the beach tonight
A# D#
Followed you down to the beach tonight

Followed you down to the beach tonight
