Myriah

Em It was summer of 05 D I had 20 years alive C G Myriah moved in the apartment Em One eye brown and one eye green D We would cook and she would clean C G And drink a little wine for excitement Em Every now and then D I’d play some music for her when C G She was going out with other men Em She’d say she liked the melody D “Would you write a song for me?” C G I didn’t tell her that I had a ten Am And as the days dragged on C And the nights grew long G D I told myself the time was wrong Am in my own little world C Running round with other girls G D Cause the right words would never come Em When the summer sun was strong D In the heat with nothing on C G Myriah would lie before me Em I’d pretend to read a book D While taking in my looks C G But Myriah would still ignore me Em In the evenings we would talk D On occasion we would walk C G Through the ‘morgan up Columbia road Em She’d look me in the eye D Put her hand upon my thigh C G And laugh at every joke I told Am And as the days dragged on C And the nights grew long G D I told myself the timing’s wrong Am In my own little world C Running round with other girls G D Cause the right words would never come C The stars rearranged G As the weather changed D Em While I was busy playing stupid games C And what a foolish thing to fear G But I couldn’t bear to hear D Em Her say she didn’t feel the same Em D C G x 2 Am And as the days dragged on C And the nights grew long G D I told myself the time was wrong Am In my own little world C Running round with other girls G D When the right words would never come Em When the autumn came around D Myriah up and left the town C G She was ready to go back home Em And her father came along D Grabbed her clothes and she was gone C G And it was back to my nights alone Em Now she’s up in ‘rado springs D Getting a master’s in something C G She called me up the other day Em And I’m still sitting in the den D Writing songs and thinking when C G I let her get away C G Baaaa, Da da daaa D C Da da daa, Ba da daaa G D Ba baa, da da daaa End with Em strum C G Baaaa, Da da daaa D C Da da daa, Ba da daaa G D Ba baa, da da daaa End with Em strum
