[Verse]
E Emaj7
Followed you down to the beach tonight
C#m C#sus2
Wearing two coats but nothing besides
E Emaj7
Forget that we're away from home
C#m C#sus2 C#m
Pretend we've got a beach of our own
[Chorus]
A
Always before but never again
B
In the tall white grass where we ran and slept
C#m
I lost my head but the ideas came
F#m
Sweating out words like a fevered game
A
And now that seems like it was lost in time
B
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]

[Verse]
E Emaj7
Summer's so long and it's running away
C#m C#sus2
I lost my chain in the river that day
E Emaj7
Watched that fire in the silent dark
C#m C#sus2 C#m
And i found you crying in the back of your car
[Chorus]
A
In the small hours while the embers glowed
B
And the light showed drops on your blanket folds
C#m
I let you rest from your tired life
F#m
Carving that soil with your daddy's knife
A
And now it seems it was lost in time
B
But for those two years he was a friend of mine
[Interlude]
