[Verse]
C                        Cmaj7
Followed you down to the beach tonight
Am                    Asus2
Wearing two coats but nothing besides
   C               Cmaj7
Forget that we're away from home
   Am                Asus2       Am
Pretend we've got a beach of our own

[Chorus]
F
Always before but never again
       G
In the tall white grass where we ran and slept
  Am
I lost my head but the ideas came
Dm
Sweating out words like a fevered game
    F
And now that seems like it was lost in time
        G
But for those two years he was a friend of mine

C                         Cmaj7
Summer's so long and it's running away
   Am                  Asus2
I lost my chain in the river that day
C                         Cmaj7
Watched that fire in the silent dark
       Am                     Asus2        Am
And i found you crying in the back of your car

[Chorus]
F
In the small hours while the embers glowed
        G
And the light showed drops on your blanket folds
  Am
I let you rest from your tired life
Dm
Carving that soil with your daddy's knife
    F
And now it seems it was lost in time
        G
But for those two years he was a friend of mine

[Outro]
C                                      F
Followed you down to the beach tonight
C                                      F
Followed you down to the beach tonight
C                        
Followed you down to the beach tonight
