[Verse 1]
C          G            F
cool night air stagnant i smoke off nervousness
            C                 G             F
outside the santa cruz county bail bonds office
         C       G            F
it is an hour or so if we are lucky
C G               F
till they let you go
C              G                         F                                         C G F
when we showed up in the car to pick you up with pizza and vodka five minutes late
C G                   F
they said you already left
     C      G             F
with who or where to they wouldn’t say

[Verse 2]
      Am  G*          F
so we ran through the parking lot of the county jail
    Am                   G*              F
our love is the wildfire up on the hill, too big to fail
               Am   G*                  F
screaming your name vaguely towards the river levee
       Am    G                F       G
we are wolves and this is our howling

[Verse 3]
C             G                   F
roll down the windows turn up the heat blow cigarette smoke look down at our bare feet
C                   G                         F
driving towards the shitty chinese restaurant the best deal on this end of town
C                G                      F
but that was our self care that was our warm red booth that was
         C              G                F
anything that got me to leave my fucking room this winter
C             G                F
my head feels light, my vision skewed
N.C.
trying to think about how i feel when i’m hanging out with you

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
C                 G                     F
I look down at my lap read the bold red letters on the take out bag
C               G         F
all it said was thank you, and please come back soon
