Spring Street Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm sorry that I left you
With your [Bm]questions all alone
But [G]I w[C]as too happy drivi[D]ng
And too [Bm]angry to drive [C]home

[Verse 2]
I was [G]thinking about the easy courage
Of [Bm]my distant friends
They said [C]I could let
this [D]bridge wash out
And [Bm]nev er make [C]amends

[Verse 3]
Can I [D]blow this small town
[Bm]Make a big sound
[C]Like the star of a film noir postcard
[Am]Can I just f[Em]or g[Am]et the
frames I [Em]shared with you
And [G]I can't

[Verse 4]
believe what
they're saying
They're say[D]ing I can change my mind
Start over on Spring [Am]Street
I'm welcome [D]anytime
[Bm][C]

[Verse 5]
Well there are Spring [G]Street
storefront daisies
Floating [Bm]on their neon stems
There [Am]are new [C]shirts on
[D]the clothes racks
Should I [Bm]feel like one of [C]them

[Verse 6]
I can [G]find a small apartment
Where a strug[Bm]gling artist died
And [C]pretend because I [D]pay the rent
I [Bm]know that pain inside

[Verse 7]
[C]Yeah, let's wat[D]ch the tour
bus [Bm]stop and tell us
[C]Here's the scene of a spring
green life dream
[Am]Take the best part
Write it in your caf[Em]feine diary

[Verse 8]
And I can't [G]believe what
they're saying
They're say[D]ing I can leave tonight
Start over on Spring [Am]Street
I'm welcome [D]any[Bm]time
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Bm][C]
[D][Bm][C]

[Verse 9]
This year [G]April had a blizzard
Just to show [Bm]she did not care
And the [C]new dead leaves
They [D]made the trees look like
[Bm]children with gray h[C]air

[Verse 10]
But I'll [G]push myself up through the dirt
And [Bm]shake [G]my [Em]petals [G]free
I'm [C]resolved to being born
[D]And so res[Bm]igned to bra[C]very

[Verse 11]
Yeah the [D]one who leaves
this [Bm]also grieves this
[C]Too much rain on a prairie flood plain
[Am]Houses floating, love is like that
[Em]We built on the river

[Verse 12]
And that's [G]to say, yeah I'm leaving
But [D]I don't have to go there
I don't have to go to Spring
[Am]Street
'Cause it's [D]spring [Bm]every[Em]
[C]where...
