Intro: C G F C G F C G F Incomprehensible Let me be C G F Incomprehensible Let me be Verse 1: G Highway 17, cotton candy rain Am Driving with my lover, we missed our plane F So we added on the hours to see the lupine flowers Dm Way out past the border, we blew through Thunder Bay C The pine trees are narrow, a billion broken arrows Am The ravens and the crows, robins and the sparrows F All across Ontario, just static on the stereo Dm And swimming in the lake, Old Woman Bay C Traveling with some stuff I left when I was a kid Am Mr. Bear and the wooden box I hid F Full of broken gadgets that don't mean nothing now Dm The only thing I'll keep are the letters and the photographs C In two days it's my birthday and I'll be 33 Am But that doesn't really matter next to eternity F And I like a double number, and I like an odd one too Dm And everything I see from now on will be something new Interlude: C Am F Dm Verse 2: C "I'm afraid of getting older", that's what I learned to say Am 'Cause society has given me the words to think that way F The message spins and spirals, "Don't get saggy, don't get grey" Dm But the soft and lovely silvers are now falling on my shoulder C My mother and my grandma, my great-grandmother too Am They wrinkle like the river, sweeten like the dew F And as silver as the rainbow scales that shimmer purple blue Dm How can beauty that is living be anything but true? C So let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair Am Let me dance in front of people without a care F Let me be naked alone with nobody there Dm Or with mismatched socks and shoes and stuff stuffed in my underwear Outro: C G F Incomprehensible Let me be Interlude: C G F C G F Incomprehensible Let me be C G F This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
