[Intro]
C Em Am F
[Verse]
C * Em *
I've got a copy, of catcher in the rye
Am * F *
in my top pocket, I think you know why.
C * Em *
Order me something, from the dusty top shelf
Am F
I can't keep my secrets in, nor my hand to myself.
[Chorus]
C F Em *
So we put on those old records,
C F Am *
drank spirits with my friends.
C Em
But not long ago, I could never know,
F C Em Am
like you'd turn a page, someone could go.
[Verse]
C * Em *
Our Lady of Sorrows, please take my hand.
Am * F
That was a hard year, even if I'd been an older man.
C * Em *
She said you're 23 now, you know Keats went at 25.
Am F
You've only got ten more years, 'till Christ was crucified.
[Chorus]
C F Em *
So we put on those old records,
C F Am *
drank spirits with my friends.
C Em
But not long ago, I could never know,
F Em
like you'd turn a page, someone could go.
Am G
In our concrete walls, a sweet perfume,
F C G Am
that the lilies made as they fill the room.
[Break]
C Em F
C Em C *
[Chorus]
C G
But not long ago, I could never know,
F Em
like you'd turn a page, someone could go.
Am G
In our concrete walls, a sweet perfume,
F C G Am
that the lilies made as they fill the room.
F C G Am
as they fill the room.
