D Am C G


[Verse]
D                Am
I met a girl from Brownsville
     C            G
She a kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill
D                       Am                               C
And I told her about my friends back home what they'd say
G
How she spoke


[Chorus]
D       Am          C           G
Lasting words in the lasting night
         D                        Am
And every time I see a boat by a lake
                       C
I want to jump up and say

N.C.
Let's row away from everything


[Verse 2]
D               Am
Said she was a cutter
          C                     G
And well I, I said my dad's a preacher man, he could
     D                  Am                     C
Well, I took her to the boat out down by the lake
   G
Well, she spoke


[Chorus]
D       Am          C           G
Lasting words in the lasting night
         D                        Am
And every time I see a boat by a lake
                       C
I want to jump up and say

G
Let's row away from everything

D Am C G

D                Am               C
I kindly took her by the hand, oh I
                 G
Just to make her understand it all
D                     Am                    C    G
And I took her to the boat out down by the lake
D               Am                         C
And just when everything was said, you see I
            G
I hugged her hard around her head, and then I
D                     A                       C
I told her there are things that we shouldn't say
  G
Now watch me say and she spoke


[Chorus]
D       Am          C           G
Lasting words in the lasting night
         D                        Am
And every time I see a boat by a lake
                       C
I want to jump up and say

                    G
Let's row away from everything she spoke


[Post-Chorus]
       D     Am     C

D              Am

   But the scars you hide today

but you dont want to say
               Am
