With your skinny girls arms with the hairs on their ends like exclamation marks

I wish I had been there to run a comb through your hair - it always smelt like smoke and pine cones

C F C
No I haven't been drinking, I don't know what I was thinking but it really don't mean a thing
C F C F C G C
She said ?do me a favour if you wanna be my saviour then you're gonna have to wait 'til the spring?
