Tom: C#m E Ab C#m A E Ab C#m A [Verse 1] E Ab C#m A Out on Gull lake, in a peach-plum dawn, in your Edson boat, I’m safe. E Ab C#m A F#m A summer day, pulling walleye up, then the morning comes. I’m awake, A and the pain starts in my sternum, then it radiates. E Ab C#m A When I see your face, made of brick and stone, it’s strong and bold and brave. E Ab C#m A F#m It starts to fade, and you’re weaker now, cursing these goddamn legs. A C#m I know you gotta go, but I was hoping that you’d stay. Esus2 A Hoping you’d stay. Hoping you’d stay. [Instrumental] E Ab C#m A [Verse 2] E Ab C#m A At Erin Ridge, where I’d come from school when I was faking sick. E Ab C#m A F#m You’d take me in. When the world got dark, you let me be a kid, A C#m and I know you couldn’t stay, but I really wish you did. Esus2 A C#m I wish you did. I wish you did. Esus2 A I wish you did. I wish you did. [Outro] E You told me not to get old. A You felt the weight in your bones. C#m I knew you needed to go, B but I felt so alone. E You told me not to get old. A Watching your light go out slow, C#m with a lump in my throat. B Wish we were back on your boat. E You told me not to get old. A You told me not to get old. C#m You told me not to get old. B Wish we were back on your boat. E Wish we were back on your boat.
