D Am C G
[Verse]
D
I met a girl from Brownsville
Am
She a kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill
C G
And I told her about my friends back home what they'd say
G
How she spoke
[Chorus]
D Am
Lasting words in the lasting night
C
And every time I see a boat by a lake
G
I want to jump up and say
N.C.
Let's row away from everything
[Verse 2]
D
Said she was a cutter
Am
And well I, I said my dad's a preacher man, he could
C
Well, I took her to the boat out down by the lake
G
Well, she spoke
[Chorus]
D Am
Lasting words in the lasting night
C
And every time I see a boat by a lake
G
I want to jump up and say
N.C.
Let's row away from everything
[Bridge]
D
I kindly took her by the hand, oh I
Am
Just to make her understand it all
C G
And I took her to the boat out down by the lake
And just when everything was said, you see I
Am
I hugged her hard around her head, and then I
C G
I told her there are things that we shouldn't say
G
Now watch me say and she spoke
[Chorus]
D Am
Lasting words in the lasting night
C
And every time I see a boat by a lake
G
I want to jump up and say
N.C.
Let's row away from everything she spoke
[Post-Chorus]
D
Lasting words
Am
In this lasting night
C
I tore her, tore her, tore her down
G
I tore her down today
D
Lasting words
[Solo]
Am
In this lasting night
C
I tore her, tore her, tore her down
G
I tore her down today
D Am
And everything just goes away, no no no
C G
But the scars you hide today
D Am
I didn't want to say
C G
I didn't want to say
D Am
Everything just goes away
C G
Everything just goes away
[Verse 3]
D
I met a girl from Brownsville
Am
She a kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill
[Chorus]
Lasting words
Am
In this lasting night
C
I tore her, tore her, tore her down
G
I tore her down today
[Outro]
D Am
Lasting words in the lasting night
C G
And every time I see a boat by a lake
N.C
I want to jump up and say
