Intro:
C F C C C/B Am F C
C F C C C/B
Renee, make a promise to me
Am F Dm F
Let your hair grow to your knees
G C G Am F
And I will not be far, you'll not be in harm's way,
C F C C C/B Am F C
Renee.
C F C C C/B
The stragglers bring mud to your door
Am F Dm F
And trouble for all those who mourn
(F) G C G Am F
but do not answer it, stay inside and leave the lights unlit
(F) C F C C/B Am F C
And night and day I watch you hide away, Renee.
Interlude

C F C C/B Am F C
Dmin F Am F
Oh, the full moon
G Am F C
Can't afford the pull that's coming from the likes of you
Dmin F Am F G
And oh, to tell you
(G) C F G
And I bet it said
(G) C F G
"If it wasn't for me, the waves won't come"
(G) C F G
High in its bed it goes
(G) C F G
moving with your moving parts
(G) C F G
And the hardest part is getting older
(G) Am F C
the hardest part is getting old
C F C C C/B
Renee, you've a way to row
Am F Dmin F
Through a lake of fire and fog of cigarette smoke.
G C F
The dirt-eating moon, don't hurt her, be good.
