C G
Flat on my back, halfway through a six pack
F C
Hear the neighborhood kids as they play
F G
And the fire hydrant sprays, on this mid-August day
Am Em F
God I was I was so far away
C G
She hitchhiked south down from Kalispell now
F C
I am trying to recall how we met
F G
She saw me stare as she tied up her hair
Am Em F
At a diner three miles outside
Am Em F
Of Twin Falls, Idaho late one night
[Verse 2]
Am Em
And I offered her a ride
Am Em
But she said "Let's stay the night"
Am Em
Dragged her nails hard down my back
Am Em F C G
Until the crimson blood dripped down on sheets so white
[Chorus]
F C
She washed across the Northern Planes
Am Em
Like a storm with no name, she was gone in three days
F C G
How I wish she stayed to rain on me
F C
Ooh, and I thought I was safe
Am Em
Swearing these winds of change could not blow us away
F C G
But I learned I would pay for my mistakes
Am Em F
At a diner three miles outside
F G C
Of twin falls, Idaho late one night
[Verse 3]
C G
Like a half ton of bricks, I'm laid down by my sins
F C
Cause the temple where I used to pray
F G
Is corrupt and profane, I blaspheme in her name
Am Em F
In a city where she's never been
Am G F
At least I have her name on my lips
Am Em
Kept her hand right on her gun
Am Em
And she cursed when she was done
Am Em
With her breath hot on my neck
Am Em F C G
Whispered "Something to remember me, my love"
[Chorus]
F C
She washed across the Northern Planes
Am Em
Like a storm with no name, she was gone in three days
F C G
How I wish she stayed to rain on me
F C
Ooh, and I thought I was safe
Am Em
Swearing these winds of change could not blow us away
F C G
But I learned I would pay for my mistakes
Am Em F
At a diner three miles outside
F G C
Of twin falls, Idaho late one night
