[VERSE 1]
F#/A# B F/A A#
Lake Hope was calling me
B C# F#/A# A#
October witnesses were there
F#/A# B F/A A#
So-o I took her with me
B C# F#/A# A#
I knew just what would occur there
B C# F#/A#
That's why I had to take her there
B C# A# D#m
So I called on our Michael, it was so far
B C# F#/A# A#
And he was willing to drive us
B C#
Gathered up her paintbrushes
A# D#m
Ran to the car
B C# F#/A# A#
But for the squirrels it was quiet
[VERSE 2]
F#/A# B F/A A#
Lake Hope rea-a-lity
B C# F#/A# A#
Seems so ethereal floating
F#/A# B F/A A#
And the fina-a-lity
B C#
Of her embrace
F#/A# A#
Left me groping
B C# F#/A#
Satisfied yes, but still groping
B C# A# D#m
For the secret of metaphysical joy
B C# F#/A# A#
There in her body's caresses
B C#
Love is but to play with
A# D#m
A# girl like a toy
B C# F#/A# A#
Yes, but nobody confesses
[VERSE 3]
F#/A# B F/A A#
Lake Hope was calling me
B C# F#/A# A#
I knew just what would occur there
F#/A# B F/A A#
So-o I took her with me
B C# F#/A# A#
Only to do it with her there
B C# F#/A#
That's why I couldn't take you there…
