A Starfish in the Front Yard

[Refrão]
C G Am F
I saved this song for a rainy day
C G Am F
and I think we're gonna be okay
C G Am F
cause I've got nothing witty left to say
C G Am F
just to stand around and talk about the weather

[Próxima Parte]
the fingerpicking changes to slap-pluck style
C G Am F
and we know, that there's no sense in so much arguing
C G Am F
the world is ending, and no one's listening
C G Am F
'cause we've things between you and me, and god it seems
C G Am F
that everything is always stuck between what's really happening
C G Am F
and then our voices hit and it's just "ohh…"
C G Am F
and that's the price of it, and it's just "ohh…"
C G Am F
and everyday that it goes away, and it's like we say, and it's not okay
C G Am F
and all we're left with here today is one last "ohh…"
Am
- Am - Em - Em - F - F - C - G
C G Am F
this song is easier than it probably seems,
C G Am F
but in my life, I've said a lot of things that I don't mean
C G Am F
to try and win you over, to try to know my dreams,
C G Am F
and some of the lies that I tried to hide, well their hidden still from me
C G Am F
and there's a starfish in the front yard, yeah
C G Am F
and he's sitting there talking 'bout the way, how on a rainy day
C G Am F
even starfish wind up in the front yard, talkin' how the road was hard
C G Am F
that brought him from the ocean to our lawn on Ambar Way
C G Am F
and then our voices hit and it's just "ohh…"
C G Am F
we're gonna pay the price of it tonight "ohh…"
C G Am F
and there he's lying there and dying, air is drying out his hide
C G Am F
I think I see a starfish smiling, crying out "ohh…"
Am
- Am - Em - Em - F - F - C - G
C G Am F
Come with me down to the sea, by santa cruz
C G Am F
and we can float on funnel cakes, and drown ourselves in booze
C G Am F
sitting in a motel 6, but we'll never leave the room
C G Am F
we're singing about those secret things that keep these songs in tune
C G Am F
and then our voices hit and it's just "ohh…"
C G Am F
we're gonna pay the price of it tonight "ohh…"
C G Am F
and everyday that it goes away, and it's like we say, and it's not okay
C G Am F
and all we're left with here today is one last "ohh…"
