Del Water Gap - A Clear Mind A Better Time

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
D Bm G D

[Verse 1]

D
I was just thinking that while we’re still young
Bm
We should go and get married and live in the sun
G D
And keep our parents waiting and waiting for us to come home

D
I’ll make us coffee to keep us awake
Bm
And play you old love songs lost in the hay
G D
And you’ll never, never, never have to be alone

[Chorus]

Bm D E Bm
We could lie
G
And waste your time
D
I’d make you feel better
G
Yeah, we felt so much better

[Verse 2]

D
Remember the classrooms, the whitewash the slacks
Bm
The ceilings that crumbled from flawless to cracked
G D
The children sat quietly learning just how to grow old

D
Our friends were all brutal, our teachers were brash
Bm
But the shit we had to deal with in high school is passed
G D
And as long as you’ll feel it with me then I’ll feel it with you

[Chorus]

Bm D E Bm G Bm
And if you can’t heal, had the last one steal
Bm D E Bm
Then I’ll show you love
G Bm
How we used to feel
D
We felt so much better
G
Yeah, we felt so much better

[Instrumental]

Bm G D G x4

[Verse 3]
D
You’ll get tattoos of my name on your chest
Bm
Cause the things we know now are the things we’ll forget
G D
And some day you’ll wish that you never made commitments like that

D
And when I grow old and start losing my mind
Bm Gm
And tears they fall heavy and hot from your eyes
G D
Just remember the day that I let myself open to you
G D
Just remember the day that I let myself open to you
G D
Just remember the day that I let myself open to you
