Porch Song

Cadd4
We sang porch songs like we were 
rock stars
                          C     
We drank cheap beer and tried to 
          D
make it last
 Cadd4
Then it was back in the car

The coast to the cornfields
Maybe we were just looking for 
     C              D
something else to call ourselves
Cadd4
Rest stop coffee, yeah postcards 
back home
                      C
Back seat scenes of strange towns
 G                 G
Keep driving on, driving on
 Cadd4
In the middle of the night, we took 
a wrong turn
                                 C 
Ended up on a mountain in the pine 
                        G
trees and the moonlit earth
  Cadd4                    C      
Oh the scattered light, a 
       G
photograph in mind
  Cadd4           C               
Of a summer day, squinting at the 
G
sun

It's a warm stone, that I carry 
   G
along
  G
You know I, you know that I
                    C              
I've been saving quarters, for the 
  G
toll roads
                  F                
We can pack the car tonight, we can
    C          G
 leave town tomorrow
              C               
Put me on a porch swing out in 
   G
Portland
              F                 C 
Put me on an F train, roll me back
        G
 into Brooklyn

Well we closed the bars, like we 
were cowboys
                        C          
And then we wrote our names in the 
              G
dirt by the side of the road
  Cadd4
And October came and the winter drew
 near
                         C      
With the cold fingers digging in 
           G
under the ribs
 Cadd4
But we were campfire girls and we 
were kicking up the leaves
And we returned to our jobs with our
    C                 G
 clothes smelling of wood-smoke
  Cadd4                     C     
Oh the scattered light, a 
       G
photograph in mind
