[Intro]
Dadd4
[Verse 1]
Dadd4
I saw her in a dream, Exiting the bookstore lobby
Sitting on a bench on Baltimore and reading Murakami
Dadd4/A Gadd9 G
Slipping salt beneath the sun, her hands now tying up her hair
Bm
One pair of deeply tinted shades reflects my unbelieving stare
G6
And at once, I am taken
[Verse 2]
Dadd4
She asked me what I wanted as if one ever really knew and I said,
"Dull domestication, free from pressure to pursue
Dadd4/A Gadd9 G
Another love, another touch, another tired conversation"
Bm
And then she shut her novel sharply and proposed a new location
Gadd9
And at once, I obliged
[Verse 3]
Dadd4
Details for a new protest adorn white printer paper flyers
She says, "I feel so old admitting counter-culture makes me tired"
Dadd4/A Gadd9 G
She leads me into the café, her intention is exact
Bm
It is 104 degrees, she takes her coffee hot and black
Gadd9
And at once, I am entranced
[Verse 4]
Dadd4
She suggests we settle down, meaning, settle down for good
She knows the perfect place on Martha Street in her old neighborhood
Dadd4/A Gadd9 G
and then a taxi sounds a horn and it is full of all our things
Bm
And it is parked outside the café and the driver sounds incredibly
Gadd9
Impatient
[Verse 5]
Dadd4
When we merge onto the freeway, she rolls her window down completely
The driver dials into a station and then she smiles at me discreetly
Dadd4/A Gadd9 G
She says, "I love this song" then turns away and tracks the clouds
Bm Gadd9
The driver curses with conviction while "Heavy Metal Drummer" plays us out
[Ending]
Gadd9
