G-Am-Em-D
[Verse 1]
G Am
Hand out the window

Floatin' on air

Just a flip of the wrist
G Am-Em-D
I'd be wavin' you goodbye
G Am
Drive past the lifeguard stand
Em D G Am-Em-D
Where I sit around waiting for you to remember
C G
As I drive
[Chorus]
G Am C
How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes
Em D Bb C
And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying
G Am C
And how the grace with which she walked into your life
Em D
Will stay with you in your steps
Bb C
And pace with you a while
Bb C G Am-Em
So long, so long
D G Am-Em-D-G
So long, so long
[Verse 2]
G Am Em
The speaker in this door is blown
D G
So nothing sounds quite right
Am Em D G
Taking my time, taking this drive, waving this town goodbye
Am Em D
And I drive this ocean road
G
And remember
Am Em
The small of your back, nape of your neck, I remember everything
D C
as I drive
G
Waving this town goodbye
[Chorus]
G Am C
How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes
Em D Bb C
And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying
G Am C
And how the grace with which she walked into your life
Em D
Will stay with you in your steps
Bb C
And pace with you a while
Bb C Bb C Bb
G Am-Em
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long, so long
D G
So long, so long
Am Em D
Am-Em
Taking my time, taking this drive, waving this town goodbye
D G Am-Em
So long, so long
D C
So long, so long
[Bridge]
C
And I will leave under the cover
C
Of summer's kiss upon the sky
C
Like the storm face of your lover
C
Just before she says goodbye
C
I was certain that the season could be held between my arms
C
But just as summer's hold is fleeting
C G Am-Em-D
I was here and now I'm gone
(Repeat G-Am-Em-D for the rest of the song; end on G)
