A

[Verse 1]
A                D    D/C# Bm    D    D/C#   Bm
Small town girl, Coca Cola grin, honeysuckle skin
E                      D              F#m
Born beneath the ready sign of a strawberry moon
A               D     D/C#       Bm       D     D/C#      Bm
Small town girl shows up for her friends, crazy about The Bends
E                    D              F#m
I was there when she first put away childish things


[Chorus]
D                A
We had spring in our heels
D          A  E    D           F#m       E
Unwavering forces, headfirst into the unknown
A    E       D                 A        E
Like runaway horses in a fever till the end
    A     E         Bm     F#m           D         E    A
And every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind


[Verse 2]
    A                 D        D/C#      Bm
You traded school for weddings rings and rent
D   D/C#    Bm   E                   D               F#m
Invitations sent of you and him by a barn out on the edge of town
A                    D        D/C#      Bm   D     D/C#     Bm
Small town girl, you put your dreams on ice, never thinking twice
E                   D                       F#m
Some you'll surely forget and some that you never will


[Chorus]
D                   A
There was a promise in our stride
D              A   E    D           F#m       E
But we changed courses, headfirst into the unknown
A    E       D                 A        E
Like runaway horses in a fever till the end
    A     E         Bm     F#m           D         E    A
And every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
     E       D                            A    E
Like runaway horses, it's a long way back home again
     A     E         Bm     F#m           D         E    A
When every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
