 Early to rise, Early to bed
 G                       D
 That moment I'd risen I shaved my 
head
 G                       D
 Doing so that morning began with a 
grin
 A                            D
 I left behind my old fabled skin

        D
 It was middle of May, the seasons 
were bending
 G                        D
 I with the seasons could predict no
 ending
 G                    D
 Lived in the moment, being as it 
were
      A                            
 That moment surrendered and led me
    D
 to her

 Bm                      G
 Exchanging glances, our eyes by a 
thread
   D                               
 I tugged her right over by tilting
    Bm   D
 my head
   Em                        G 
 I followed her blind, to an old 
         D
record store
 While one of her friends found a 
                A
way through the door


         Em            Bm         
 In the dark we played records 
  G
with everyone high
 Em         Bm             G
 I held her hands when the police 
drove by
     Em             Bm        G
 She asked me bout' home if I missed
 it at all
 I thought Mama oh Mom I've been

     D
 The band went home, I stayed behind
            G                      
 I took the Muskegon Ferry from the
 D
 Milwaukee line
    G                          D
 Arrived at her door to clutch all 
her hearts strings
       A                         
 We're driving up north to forget 
            D
everything

   D
 I followed her to beaches, we slept
 on the dunes
   G                        
 I still see her eyes lit by 
 D
fragments of moons
     G                    D
 Not crescent, nor full inside of 
the storm
       A                           
 She'd dive and resurface each time
              D
 changing form


     Em         Bm          G
 But time kept insisting we both 
sink like rocks
 Em          Bm      G
 Time out of water resumed on the 
clocks
     Em              Bm          
 She slept while the second hand 
G
spun on the wall
 I thought Mama Oh Mom I've been

 I didn't wanna lose her, I bought 
two tickets home
    G                   D
 We left Copper Harbor scared to be 
alone
 G                           D
 Standing there watching our feet 
off the plane
      G                       D
 Each step she took further I was 
less the same

       D
 I was running from whoever I was at
 the time
        G                     
 I went running right into the 
 D
middle of a crime
       G                           
 I was clawing in the quicksand 
     D
just to get above the grime
         G                         
 Just to come up for some air, I 
  D
was climbing to climb
       G                           
 And I didn't mean to hurt you when
   D
 I turned on a dime
     A
 And just within a day you were well
 on your way


       Em          Bm          G
 And I went to the river where all 
sinners meet
             Em      Bm     
 Watched the animals run from 
       G
headlights in the street
           Em               G     
 I thought I'm like all the rest, 
       Bm
I just wanna be impressed
           Em           G         
 You gotta be above someone to 
        Bm
watch them fall

 Em     Bm          G
 Emily I've been meaning
 Em     Bm          G

 Em     Bm          G          D
