Eugene Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Light str[D]uck from the[G] lemon tre[F]e
What if [G]I'd [Em]never se[G]en[D] hysterical
[G]light [C]from [G]Eugene?
[C]Lemon [G]yogurt, [D]remember I
[Em]pulled at [G]your [D]shirt
I dropped the ashtray on [G]the floor[C]
I just wanted [G]to be near [C]you

[Verse 2]
Emerald [D]Park, wonders [G]never cease
[F]The man who[G] tau[Em]ght me [G]to [D]swim,
he couldn't quite [C]say my [G]first name
[C]Like a [G]Father he [D]led community
[G]wa [Em]ter on [G]my h[D]ead
And he called [C]me "Subaru"
And now I want to be [G]near you

[Verse 3]
[G]
Since [D]I was o[G]ld e[Em]nough[D] to
[C]speak [G]I've said it with [D]alarm[G]
Some [D]part of [Em]me was
[D]lost in [C]your sleeve
[G]Where you hid your [D]cigarettes
No I'll nev[G]er forget[C]
I just want to be [G]near [C]you

[Verse 4]
Still I [D]pray to what I can[G]not see
In the [Em]sprinkler I [D]mark the
evidence [C]known from the [G]start
[C]From the bed[G] near your dea[D]th,
and all the ma[Em]chines [G]that made a [D]mess
Far away the falcon [C]flew
Now I want to be [G]near [C]you

[Verse 5]
What's [D]left is [G]only bittersweet
[F]For the res[Em]t of my lif[D]e,
admitting [C]the best is be[G]hind me
[C]Now I'm[G] drunk and afr[D]aid,
wishing the [Em]world would [G]go [D]away
What's the point of singing [Em]songs[C]
If they'll never [G]even hear you?
