capo 1 G C foals in winter coats Am white girls of the north , F C file past one , five and one , C they are the fabled lambs D a sunday ham , Am the ancient snow G C and they could float above the grass G in circles if they tried F C a latent power i know they hide C to keep some hope alive D that a girl like i Am could ever try , G could ever try Em D so we just skirt the hallway sides Em a phantom and a fly E C D follow the lines and wonder why there’s no connection G C a week of rolling eyes , Am and cheap shots from the trite , F C and we’re off to nemarca’s porch again , C another afternoon D with the goathead tunes , Am and pilfered booze . G C we wander through her mamma’s house G the milk from the window lights F C family portrait circa ’95 C this is that foreign land D of the sprayed - on tans Am and it all feels fine G be it silk or slime Em D so , when they tap our monday heads Em to zombie - walk in our stead , E C D this town seems hardly worth our time Em C D and we’ll no longer memorize or rhyme , Em too far along in our climb E C D stepping over what now towers to the sky , with no connection G C D oooh waooooooo waooooooo ( repeat 4x ) Em D so when they tap our sunday heads Em to zombie - walk in our stead , E C D this town seems hardly worth our time Em C D and we’ll no longer memorize or rhyme , Em too far along in our crime , E C D stepping over what now towers to the sky , with no connection G C D oooh waooooooo waooooooo ( repeat to fade 8x )
