Capo II
I'm (G)sorry that I left you
With your (Bm)questions all alone
But I (C)was too happy (D)driving
And too (Bm)angry to drive (C)home
I was (G)thinking about the easy courage
(Bm)Of my distant friends
They said (C)I could let this (D)bridge wash out
And (Bm)never make a(C)mends
Can I (D)blow this small town
(Bm)Make a big sound
(C)Like the star of a film noir postcard
(Am)Can I just forget the frames I (Bm)shared with (C)you
And I (G)can't believe what they're saying
They're (D)saying I can change my (Bm)mind
Start over on (Am7)Spring Street
I'm welcome any(D)time (Bm)(C)
Well there are (G)Spring Street storefront daisies
Floating (Bm)on their neon stems
There are (C)new shirts on the (D)clothes racks
Should I (Bm)feel like one of (C)them
I can (G)find a small apartment
Where a (Bm)struggling artist died
And pre(C)tend because I (D)pay the rent
I (Bm)know that pain in(C)side
Yeah, let's (D)watch the tour bus (Bm)stop and tell us
(C)Here's the scene of a spring green life dream
(Am)Take the best part
Write it in your (Bm)caffeine dia(C)ry
And I (G)can't believe what they're saying
They're (D)saying I can leave to(Bm)night
Start over on (Am7)Spring Street
I'm welcome any(D)time (Bm)(C)
This year (G)April had a blizzard
Just to (Bm)show she did not care
And the (C)new dead leaves
They (D)made the trees look like (Bm)children with gray (C)hair
But I'll (G)push myself up through the dirt
And (Bm)shake my petals free
I'm re(C)solved to being (D)born
And so re(Bm)signed to brave(C)ry
Yeah the (D)one who leaves this (Bm)also grieves this
(C)Too much rain on a prairie flood plain
(Am)Houses floating, love is like that
(Bm)We built on the (C)river
And (G)that's to say, yeah I'm leaving
But (D)I don't have to go (Bm)there
I don't have to go to (Am7)Spring Street
'Cause it's spring every(D)where (Bm)(C) . . . (fade)
