Cm7                           F
Shot from the green cannon of late spring

Cm7                   F
The map on your lap unfolding

Cm7                       F
Some states don't rave(?) in a blur

Cm7                                  F
Toothpaste across your reflection in muddy water

Cm7                            F
We had truckstop cassettes and Liza Ks and Patsy Cline

Cm7                          F
Send "Strange" in the desert every night at nine

Cm7                       F
Purple light on your face in the canyon at dusk

Cm7                           F        Cm7
I thought I might as well go blind

            F
I thought I might as well go blind



Bb           Cm7              F
I thought my eyes had seen it all
Bb           Cm7              F
I thought my eyes had seen it all
Bb               Cm7              Ab                Eb               Bb
Then they lie to you in your head that our language can't capture it all
                 Cm7              F
But I thought my eyes had seen it all


Cm7                    F
Slept all night in the dry scrub
Cm7                             F
Crawled from the thicket with a new love
Cm7                              F
Sleep in our eyes and I pulled a bug off your back
Cm7                                F
You said "Leave me alone. Just let nature attack us"
Cm7                                  F
We had truckstop cassettes of Smokey Robinson and Kinks
Cm7                             F
The tape hit the player just as we hit Cruisers Creek
Cm7                         F             Cm7                        F
Our time was turning dusty yellow but the sun on your forehead shone pink
Cm7                    F
I thought the worst was over
             F
Just goes to show I shouldn't think


Bb           Cm7              F
I thought my eyes had seen it all
Bb           Cm7              F
I thought my eyes had seen it all
Bb           Cm7         Ab                 Eb                  Bb
They made me desperation down this road and just down this hall but
             Cm7              F
I thought my eyes had seen it all

    Bb           Cm7                     Ab
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
                 Eb                      Bb
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
                 Cm7                     Ab     Eb
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me


Bb                 Cm7                 Ab               Eb
I promised you the best: a sparkling mirage at worst, a sea to another
        Bb
shining sea

                 Cm7                     Ab     Eb    Bb
The tape ate the player ate the tape ate me
