[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
She was [C]born [G]in ‘73
Pulled out by [C]the tide of the Indian [G]Sea
With [C]her father and mother
holding [Eb]onto each other
And she [C]still was an [Bb]ocean from [G]me

[Verse 2]
She took [C]off right before all [G]the rains
She was [C]afraid to get off of the [G]plane
Cause [C]the world that she knew
was [Eb]too far to run to
[C]And things never [Bb]would be [G]the same

[Verse 3]
And we [G]met on the stage
Running obstacle courses
And gnashing our teeth
On the words of a teenage [C]dilem[G]ma

[Verse 4]
And we [G]opened our minds
Taking [Gm]acid and ecstasy
Feel[G]ing [Gsus4]around
[C]Making [Cm]plans how to ditch
Cinder[C]el [G]la

[Verse 5]
We’ve got [Bb]stories [G]to tell
Some [Bb]of them that we [C]never [G]will
Oh you [C]think that you know us
You think that you know us
so [G]well[Bb]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
She was [C]married with her toes in the [G]sand
He brought her back [C]to
where this story [G]began
With [C]the smells and the sea
and [Eb]ocean from me
To [C]know her is [Bb]to unders[G]tand

[Verse 7]
You were [C]born in the month of Ju[G]ly
Named after [C]the rains that
you heard from [G]inside
Oh she [C]wanted to know you,
she had [Eb]so much to show you
[Cm]You [C]were too light f[Bb]or this [C]world to s[G]urvive

[Verse 8]
And we [G]gathered around her
With [Gm]honey and petals
Trying to understand [G]her
But some [Cm]things can never [C]be known
[G]

[Verse 9]
So we followed her breadcrumbs
To the [Gm]heart of the matter
The [G]more that you love
[Gsus4]The more love[G] you[Cm]
are able to [G]sow

[Verse 10]
[G]
We’ve got [Bb]stories to [G]tell
Some [Bb]of them we [C]nev[G]er [C]wil[G]l
Oh you [C]think that you know us
You think that you know us [G]so [Bb]well[G]
