[Verse 1]
Take me back to those sweltering summer [D]days.
Bike [Em]down the gravel road to
[D]the creek outside the [Em]base.
Sun on skinny arms,
chin on knobby knees.
Squatting in the cool [D]of the rotting
of the reeds.
Enveloping.
[Em][C][G][Em][D]

[Verse 2]
[Em][C]
[Em]No one here but me[C].
Never understood [Em]the other kids.
The adults even less.
[D]So I [Em]hung out by myself
In a backroad drainage [B]ditch.
I [Em]called it Devil's Creek
So it wouldn't seem [D]so sad.
When you can't [Em]have what you [D]want,
You [B]learn [G]to [Am]want [B]what [C]you have.
[G]These ad[A5]aptive [B]prefer[Em]ences[C][G]
[C]Have their [G]way with [A5]you. Shape [D]world event[Em]s.
