D Am C G

[Verse]
                     D
I met a girl from Brownsville
                 Am
She a kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill
                          C                               G
And I told her about my friends back home what they'd say
G
How she spoke

[Chorus]
          D                    Am
Lasting words in the lasting night
                         C
And every time I see a boat by a lake
                       G
I want to jump up and say
N.C.
Let's row away from everything

[Verse 2]
                 D
Said she was a cutter
                                 Am
And well I, I said my dad's a preacher man, he could
                          C
Well, I took her to the boat out down by the lake
            G
Well, she spoke

[Chorus]
         D                    Am
Lasting words in the lasting night
                         C
And every time I see a boat by a lake
                       G
I want to jump up and say
N.C.
Let's row away from everything

[Bridge]
                 D
I kindly took her by the hand, oh I
                    Am
Just to make her understand it all
                        C                    G
And I took her to the boat out down by the lake

And just when everything was said, you see I
                Am
I hugged her hard around her head, and then I
                        C                      G
I told her there are things that we shouldn't say
  G
Now watch me say and she spoke

[Chorus]
         D                    Am
Lasting words in the lasting night
                         C
And every time I see a boat by a lake
                       G
I want to jump up and say
N.C.
Let's row away from everything she spoke

[Post-Chorus]
       D
Lasting words
           Am
In this lasting night
C
I tore her, tore her, tore her down
G
I tore her down today
       D
Lasting words

[Solo]
           Am
In this lasting night
C
I tore her, tore her, tore her down
G
I tore her down today
 D                         Am
And everything just goes away, no no no
          C               G
But the scars you hide today
D                 Am
I didn't want to say
C                 G
I didn't want to say
D                      Am
Everything just goes away
C                       G
Everything just goes away

[Verse 3]
                     D
I met a girl from Brownsville
                 Am
She a kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill

[Chorus]

Lasting words
           Am
In this lasting night
C
I tore her, tore her, tore her down
G
I tore her down today
            
[Outro]
D                       Am
Lasting words in the lasting night
C                        G
And every time I see a boat by a lake
N.C
I want to jump up and say
