Would you have me? Would you want me?

Would you tell me to go xxxx myself

Or lead me to the garden?

In the garden would you trust me
     Cm              Bb             Ab
If I told you it was just a summer thing?

I was walking home on broken cobblestones

Just thinking of you when she pulled up
       Bb
Like a figment of my worst intentions
Cm                            Bb
She said, "James get in let’s drive." Those days
            Ab
turned into nights, slept next to her

But I dreamt of you all summer long
