Dar Williams - Spring Street
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G
Bm
I'm sorry that I left you with your questions all alone
C D Bm C
But I was too happy driving and too angry to drive home
G Bm
I was thinking about the easy courage of my distant friends
C D Bm C
They said I could let this bridge wash out and never make amends
D Bm
Can I blow this small town, make a big sound
C
Like the star of a film noir postcard
Am Em
Can I just forget the frames I shared with you
CHORUS:
G
And I can't believe what they're saying
D
They're saying I can change my mind
Am
Start over on Spring Street
D Bm C
I'm welcome anytime_______
G Bm
Well, there are Spring Street storefront daisies, floating on their neon stems
C D Bm C
There are new shirts on the clothes racks, should I feel like one of them
G Bm
Well, I can find a small apartment, where a struggling artist died
C D Bm C
And pretend, because I pay the rent, I know that pain inside
D Bm
Yeah, let's watch the tour bus stop and tell us
C
Here's the scene of a spring green life dream
Am Em
Take the best part, write it in your caffeine diary
CHORUS:
G
And I can't believe what they're saying
D
They're saying I can leave tonight
Am
Start over on Spring Street
D Bm C
I'm welcome anytime_______
INTERLUDE: G
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bm C D Bm C
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
G Bm
This year April had a blizzard, just to show she did not care
C D Bm C
And the new dead leaves, they made the trees look like children with grey hair
G Bm
But I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
C D Bm C
I'm resolved to being born and so resigned to bravery
D Bm
Yeah, the one who leaves this, also grieves this
C
Too much rain on a prairie flood plain
Am Em
Houses floating, love is like that, we built on the river
CHORUS:
G
And that's to say, yeah, I'm leaving
D
But I don't have to go there
Am
I don't have to go to Spring Street
D Bm Em
'Cause it's spring everywhere________
