Dm F C Bb

[Verse 1]
Dm             F               C
Truth lives next to consequence
                    Bb             Dm
It comes and goes like winter wind
            F                       C
Blowing across the straits one night
                Bb            Dm
Cold as death and real as sin
           F                C
I loved her and she loved me
                 Bb
Bound for what was meant to be
    Bb                Bb
But trouble travels silently

[Chorus]
Dm          F              C
There's a girl in Michigan
              Bb    Dm
Up in Lake Superior
               F             C
Who'll never bother us again
                Bb      Dm
Making our lives easier
          F               C
With alibis so paper thin
                Bb
Now that she is over me and
Bb
Over you and
Bb
Overboard

Dm F C Bb

[Verse 2]
Dm            F                   C
Guide me toward that lonely light
                   Bb         Dm
It's your beacon in the night
                  F                    C
Now row us straight back to that shore
                      Bb            Dm
With frozen hands and muscles sore
           F                  C
And my back against your back
                   Bb
We glide along the water black
      Bb                   Bb
Both knowing there's no turning back

[Chorus]
Dm          F              C
There's a girl in Michigan
              Bb    Dm
Up in Lake Superior
               F             C
Who'll never bother us again
                Bb      Dm
Making our lives easier
          F               C
With alibis so paper thin
                Bb
Now that she is out of sight and
Bb
Out of mind and
Bb
Overboard

[Bridge]
Gm                   Bb
She was never gonna let us go
        F
Had a hold on me
         C         Gm
And a curse on you
                        Bb
As she lay there pale upon that shore
            F
With her eyes gone black
       C            Gm
They once were blue

She could see me for the first time

Bb

[Chorus]
Dm              F              C
Now there's a girl in Michigan
     Bb
Who's overboard

[Verse 3]
Dm           F                  C
Truth moved on from consequence
                        Bb         Dm
Just when things were making sense
               F                   C
Her body washed back home to shore
                   Bb        Dm
Discovered by a neighbor boy
                F                C
And now she's in our lives again
                  Bb
The three of us in shadows
