The Dress

[Verse 1]
G                       C        
White cotton dress that tied at 
   G
the waist
Em                   D      C
Bare summer arms and eyelet lace
    G                         C   
Not short and not long, comes down
        G
 to the knee
   Em                  D          
On top of the laundry, folded and 
C
clean


But I could have sworn
                         G         
That I threw that thing away back 
  D
in June
      C
Snuck out to the alley
                        G          
And buried it under the trash, one 
    D
afternoon
Am               C        D
I can't trust my memory anymore

[Chorus]
           G    D  C
Was it the dress I wore?
           G    D  C
Was it the wine he poured?
               Em  D     C
Was there some sign I ignored?
               D  C             
Was there even time to run from 
Em    D   C Em D C
that storm?


[Verse 2]
        G                  C      
I don't cry or go crazy, I just 
      G
hold my breath
Em                      D        
Keep it all safe locked up in my 
C
chest
    G                         
Deadbolt the front door, don't 
 C          G
answer the phone
Em                         D     
Sleep with the lights on, afraid 
   C
of being alone

                            Em
And I go back through every detail
       D                C
Like a photograph in my mind
Am                       Em   D
Searching for what I did wrong
                C
I never find it in time


[Chorus]
           G    D  C
Was it the dress I wore?
           G    D  C
Was it the wine he poured?
               Em  D     C
Was there some sign I ignored?
               D  C             
Was there even time to run from 
Em    D   C
that storm?

[Otro]
                Em D C
To run from that storm?
          Em      D         C
I'm still runnin' from that storm
          Em     D         C
I'm still runnin' from that storm
