G# G#maj7
Followed you down to the beach tonight
Fm Fsus2
Wearing two coats but nothing besides
G# G#maj7
Forget that we're away from home
Fm Fsus2 Fm
Pretend we've got a beach of our own
[Chorus]
C#
Always before but never again
D#
In the tall white grass where we ran and slept
Fm
I lost my head but the ideas came
A#m
Sweating out words like a fevered game
C#
And now that seems like it was lost in time
D#
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]

Summer's so long and it's running away
Fm Fsus2
I lost my chain in the river that day
G# G#maj7
Watched that fire in the silent dark
Fm Fsus2 Fm
And i found you crying in the back of your car
[Chorus]
C#
In the small hours while the embers glowed
D#
And the light showed drops on your blanket folds
Fm
I let you rest from your tired life
A#m
Carving that soil with your daddy's knife
C#
And now it seems it was lost in time
D#
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
