[Verse]
Em                               D                C
There were days from last week   I couldn't quite complete

Em                   D       C        Em
Skipped ahead to the next afternoon  Sweat through the sheets

D        C         Em                            D             B7
Slept in my shoes  Hung around with the House of Balloons


[Chorus]
C        G              D        Em
Keep the speed steady   Hold the wheel straight

C                 G        B7                C
We scratch and we scrape   We're scared then we're brave

C   G                         Em
The kids on the corner making eyes at the cars

C                 G            B7         Em       D           C
If you want to be saved all it takes is a wave


[Verse]
Em                              D                    C
There were kids at the car wash That said they could get it

Em                                 D          C
Gave them half but they never came back

Em                     D               C             Em               D        C
Drove by so slowly  It felt like we're floating  An inflatable raft

G                                D                     Em
  Our bodies are stoplights  Our minds are the streets

C                 G             B7          C
We scratch and we scrape  We're scared then we're brave

C               G             D           Em
The kids on the corner making eyes at the cars

    C              G      B7                  Em
And if you want to saved    all it takes is a wave

[Verse]
Em    D                  C          G
Sarah I still think that you are so beautiful

Em                       D        C           G
I'm sorry that you don't feel the same way as me

Em               D            C        G
We spent so much time in this town driving slowly

Em       D                G
We spent so much money on things that didn't stay

C       G            D             Em
So call for a taxi. Slide into the backseat

C               G              B7       C
It rolls like a glass bottomed boat

    G                            D            Em
The kids on the corner when they reach in the window

      C              G             B7        C
Their arms look like limbs from an oak


[Chorus]
C        G              D        Em
Keep the speed steady   Hold the wheel straight

C                   G        B7        C
I swear I feel each little sway

B7                C        B7             C
Our minds are the windows  Our bodies are screens

B7             C                    G
We scratch     We scrape     And we dream


[Verse]
G               C                                                  Em
We dream of the limbs of the trees  We dream of the views from the boats

   D                        C            D
Of mountains all covered in oaks

       G                                      C
And we hope  As we hang from the limbs of the trees

C                            Em         D                        C          D
We cling to the rails of the boats  The mountains all covered in oaks

       G     Em     G            C                                     Em
And we dream of the limbs of the trees  We dream of the views from the boats

   D                Em      C            D
Of mountains all covered in oaks

Em     G                                      C
And we hope  As we hang from the limbs of the trees

C               D            Em         D                       C        Am
We cling to the rails on the boats  The trees as they turn into smoke

D                     Em      G
The trees they turn slowly to smoke
