Mountain Goats - Alphabetizing

G Am B – Am – G ( x4 )

G Am B – Am – G
the summer crawled by indetectably .
and then i saw you looking down to me .
and your earrings sparkled in the noon – day sun ,
G Am B
and though it’s very true that i love everyone ,
Em
with every ounce of energy left in me ,
C D
i love you especially because

G Am B – Am – G
i saw you ,
G Am B – Am – G
coming through

G Am B – Am – G
the screen door
G Am B
on the second floor ,
G
up on the balcony .

it was hard to even see you at all ,
because the air was thick with alcohol
so i kept on rubbing my eyes ,
for all the good it did me ,
for all the immeasurable good it did me ,
let the years come and take away my memory ,
i will not forget the shock that ran through me when ,

i saw you , coming through
the screen door on the second floor ,
up on the balcony .
