Lake Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
Down by [Em]the lake[D][Em]
we were overturning pebbles
And upending all the
animals [D]alight[G][Em]
And I took a drag from your cigarette
And I pinched it 'tween my fin[D]ger and my thumb,
'til [G]it [D]had died
And [Em]the sun burned low, [D]on the radio

[Verse 2]
[Em]
Say that you will, say you will,
or will you or won't
Or you whatever you [G]prevaricate,
[Em]you whole [D]life, don't [Em]you?
And this much I can say: I would've
waited 'til the oceans
Fell away and all [D]the sunken cities
would reveal themselves to you
But you [Em]won't,
will [D]you? Be[G]cause you nev[D]er [G]do[D]
And [Em]the sun burned through,
sweet as hon[D]eydew

[Verse 3]
And [Em]I, s[Bm]event[G]een[A][D]
and ter[G]minally fey
I wro[D]te it down and threw it all [Em]away
Never gave a thought to what [G]I paid
And you, all [A]sibylline,
reclining [D]in your [G]pew
[D]You tattered me,
you tethered me [Em]to you
The things you would,
the things you [D]wouldn't [G]do
To tell the truth,
I never [A]had [D]a clue

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][D]
[Em][G][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
Now we [Em]arise to curse those
young suburban villains
And their ill-begotten children
children from [D]the lawn[Em]
Come to me now,
and on the station wagon window
Set the ghost of your two footprints
That they [D]might haunt me
when you're gone
And when [Em]the light broke dawn,
you were [D]forever gone
But I re[Em]member you:
[G]you were ful[Em]l
You were full and sweet as hon[D]eydew

[Verse 5]
And [D]I, [Bm]seven[G]te[A]en
[D]and [A]termin[G]ally fey
Well, I [D]wrote it down and
threw it all [Em]away
Never gave a thought to what [G]I'd pay
And you, [A]all sibyl[D]line,
re[A]clining in your [G]pew
[D]You tattered me,
you tethered me [Em]to you
The things you would,
and the things [G]you wouldn't do
You notice now, I [D]never [A]had a [D]clue
Never had a clue
You were full and sweet
as honeydew
You were full and sweet

[Outro 1]
as honeydew
[D][Em][D]
[Em][D][Asus4]
