Bm7 G D Bm G D Bm7 G D A Bm G D Bm7 G On the second day of June D Beneath an almost crescent moon Bm G D We played echoes with the fireflies Bm7 G You were almost 17 A On the bright side of a dream Bm G D Blowing kisses to the paperboy Bm7 G And a ribbon that we drew A On Magnolia Avenue Bm G D Was September before they washed away Bm7 G We were driving in the dark A Getting lost in Echo Park Bm7 G D Heard the 'elujahs on the radio Bm7 G At the tolling of a bell A With rays of sunlight, morning fell Bm7 G D Clouds cast shadows on the fields below G All my words come tumbling down D A Like violets in your curls G Oh, maybe it's just this kind of man D A That goes diving for a pearl G 'Til all my shackles and chains come off D A I'm welded to the world Bm7 G A Bm G D Was that so long ago? Bm G With my ankles in the sand A Holding water in my hand Bm7 G D Disappearing beneath the shallow sea Bm7 G You were running with balloons A Some were yellow, some were blue Bm G D Tied a message and you let them go Bm7 G What I wanted to convey A When there was more than I could say D Bm7 G D Was how beautiful I thought that was Bm7 G You were almost 17 A On the bright side of a dream D Bm G D Blowing kisses to the paperboy G All my words come tumbling down D A Like violets in your curls G Oh, maybe it's just this just this kind of man D A That goes diving for a pearl G 'Til all my shackles and chains come off D A I'm welded to the world G All my leaves come autumning down D A Like mountains full of birds G Maybe it's just this just this kind of man D A That goes diving for a pearl G 'Til all my wheels and gears come off D A I'm welded to the world Bm G A Bm G D Was that so long ago? Bm G A Bm G D Was that so long ago? Bm7 G A Bm G D Bm G D Bm G D
