I Want You Like A Seatbelt

Tom: A

A                          E
I like crumbs and chrome headlights
                A                           D
Carnivals and canines, boardwalk girls who play nice
                 A                          E
Cars and their engines, a bridge in its suspension
                       A     D    A
The sun shadowing the east

    A                                      E
And I like how your dress looks with that lamp shade
                    A                                   D
How people always tell me, you’re the best friend they ever made
                 A                              E
Take me to the commune, we can live with Cat Stevens
                 A   D    A
He can play the tambourine

     E                        A                        D
Oh, I’d like to live up in a house that lives up in a tree
              A                       E       
Only you and me, maybe a kid, maybe three
                 A          D    
Maybe from the top, you can see that

A                     E                      A
I want you across my hips, fastened low and tight
                       D                           F#m
In the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night
                        E                      A   D   A
We can let the world fall away, one kiss at a time

A                     E
I like my Mustangs unshod
                        A
the coy-wolves of Cape Cod
                        D
The tillerman and big maud 
               A
gone but not forgotten
                        E
The wind catching the caution, 
                  A  D  A
so let it all be free

A                             E
Let’s take another unplanned road trip, 
                  A
leave behind New England
               D
Maybe we can find 
                      A
our Lefty’s sister Ingrid
                   E
Leave the frozen rivers
                          A  D  A
to some place we’ve never seen

     E                        A                        D
Oh, I’d like to live up in a house that lives up in a tree
              A                       E       
Only you and me, maybe a kid, maybe three
                 A          D    
Maybe from the top, you can see that

F#m                    E                      A
I want you across my hips, fastened low and tight
                       D                           F#m
In the middle of the woods, in the middle of the night
                        E                      A   D   A
We can let the world fall away, one kiss at a time

               E                        A  D  A 
Let the world fall away, one kiss at a time
