Michelle

INTRO: Gm

VERSE:
Gm                Bb
Oh Michelle, I’m coming down to see you
   Eb                                    Gm
Tonight is bruise-black swelling golden green
   Gm               Bb
I was in bed but I had the dream again
         Eb                             Gm
Where I drive us off the cliff to the ravine
         F              Bb
And the car was Shelby blue
 F                                      Bb
Blue like the one in the photo of your father and you
 F                          Bb
Blue like the label on the beer you always choose
 F                       Gm
Blue like me and you Michelle


VERSE:
Gm                   Bb
Oh Michelle, I went looking for the river
      Eb                           Gm
But I only made it to the railroad bed
            Gm                     Bb
There were candles there and some days-ago cut flowers
        Eb                                     Gm
For the guy who had been knifed there by his friend
        F                             Bb
And my eyes could not adjust to the flames against the leaves
 F                            Bb
Someone was watching from nearby
   F                        Bb
I heard a phone chime from shallow in the trees
F                        Cm   Bb  F  Bb  Cm  Bb  Gm
I had to come see you Michelle


VERSE:
Gm                    Bb
oh Michelle, we are trafficking in wonder,
 Eb                               Gm
worshiping the wounds upon your cheek
                        Bb
kiss me shy and I will love you like a lamprey
        Eb                     Gm
in the cool cool water in the creek
   F            Bb
tornadoes transform and leave us changed
     F                             Bb
and everyone we know will break on us like waves
 F                                 Bb
take your hands and cover up your eyes and your face
 F                           Gm
tell me what you see now Michelle


VERSE:
Gm            Bb
oh Michelle, first light might come too late
Eb                                     Gm
let’s outdrive the headlights and the stars
                        Bb
and the roof held, but only 'til the rain fell
          Eb                              Gm
now it’s leaking love inside my captain’s car
              F                            Bb
I tossed my chevrons out the window on the way over here
 F                            Bb
Uncle Sam can meet me by the treeline
       F                         Bb
he and I and your husband we can work it out like men

but we won’t end up eye to eye


INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE/OUTRO:
Bb                    F
oh Michelle, I can’t say the things that I’ve seen
          Cm                              Gm
from the time that I was gone and then returned
                                  Bb
but I got five thousand bucks, a full tank of gas,
       Eb                                            Gm
and a stars and stripes beach towel with a cigarette burn
        F                       Bb
If we leave right now we’ll be there by morning
  F                       Bb
there being anywhere but here
        F                       Bb
we can make a new start; we can make up new names
 F                             Gm   Bb
I’ve already picked yours, Michelle.
