G        Em
i walked down
C           Cmaj9   Am
through the burning cars
C     Cmaj9 Am
along your street

G         Em
i sat and wrote
C         Cmaj9   Am
your name with my finger
C    Cmaj9  Am    D
on the concrete

D              Em
your voice was still
G   C           G      D
and crisp in my ear
D           Em
"my dad's a cop,
G        C                 G
so you'd better get out of here"

G        Em
i turned down
C    Cmaj9 Am
a familiar street
C       Cmaj9  Am
and the houses swayed 

G       Em
i remembered
C   Cmaj9    Am
walking with you
C    Cmaj9     Am             D
and suddenly i felt afraid

D              Em
you stood your feet
G      C         G     D
in the drain and said
D                Em
"when you yell i die"
G       C            G 
and the implications hurt my head

G          Em
and so the cops found me
C          Cmaj9  Am
that night in the park
C               Cmaj9    Am
i was drunk and tripping through the dark

G            Em
i'd carved a tree 
C         Cmaj9    Am
with your name and mine
C           Cmaj9    Am
and the sentiment of cheap red wine
