[Verse 1]
Bb                    Eb
   Maryanne, do you remember
                 Cm
the tree by the river
                 Bb
when we were seventeen
Bb                                   Eb
  Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
                    Cm
and the mare in the pasture
                           Bb
pitch black and baring its teeth
Bb                        Eb
  I recall the sun in our faces
                      Cm
stuck and leaning on braces
                        Bb
and being strangers to change
Bb                             Eb
  Radio and the bones we found frozen
                           Cm
and all the thorns and the roses
                    Bb
beneath your window pane
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Eb                      Bb
   Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world
       Cm
to a potty mouthed girl,
                            Bb
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.
Eb                        Bb
   "Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say.
      Cm
But I wonder to who
                             Bb
And what it is you're saying today.

[Chorus 2]
Eb                      Bb
   Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world

to a potty mouthed girl,
                            Bb

[Verse 1]
Bb                    Eb
   Maryanne, do you remember
                 Cm
the tree by the river
                 Bb
when we were seventeen
Bb                                    Eb
  Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon
                  Cm
happy just to be with you
                      Eb
and you were happy for me
