Em7 A7 C G Em7 A7 C G
It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree,
Em7 A7 C G Em7 A7 C G
Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.
(base comes in , same chord sequence)
Em7 A7 C G
And I knew I'd made horrible call,
Em7 A7 C G
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
Em7 A7 C G
And there was no doubt about which side I was on. Hmmm.....

If there was nothing there all along. -|
Bass fill.....
Em7 A7 C G
I braved treacherous streets,
And kids strung out on homemade speed.
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,
At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.
Em7 A7 C G
Cause at night the sun in retreat,
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth,
In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.
(same as other Pre-chorus, but 2-2 instead of 3-4 on second part)
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.
CHORUS
(padding)
A7 B7
I'm a war, of head versus heart,
Em7 A7
And it's always this way.
A7 B7
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
Em7 C G D
Before I know what it will say.
CHORUS
