E G6 Em11/F# E
as we cruised across the canadian border
G6 Em11/F# E
you reached into your handbag , pulled out a micro – cassette recorder ,

started quoting tolstoy into the machine ,
G6 Em11/F# E
i had no idea what you meant .

i guess i’m supposed to figure these things out ,
G6 Em11/F# E
or maybe it’s supposed to be self – evident .
C Cadd9/B
but i’ve gone feral ,
Cadd9/A G6 Em11/F# – E *
and i don’t speak the language anymore .
C Cadd9/B Cadd9/A G6 Em11/F# E
we’re headed deep into the forest ,

i’ve got the pedal to the floor .
D E D
the engine shudders , like a dying man , when you reach out to grab my hand ,
A# A
you can bring out all your weapons ,
E
you can’t make me go to war .

E * E *

E G6 Em11/F# E *
long winding canadian highways , innumerable evergreens .
E
weather forecast on the Am radio
G6 Em11/F# E
says we’ll be expecting highs in the low teens
G6
when i mouth my silent curses at you ,
Em11/F# E
i can see my breath .
G6
i hope the stars don’t even come out tonight .
Em11/F# E
i hope we both freeze to death .
C Cadd9/B Cadd9/A G6 Em11/F# E *
look at the person i’ve turned into , tell me , how do you like him now?
C Cadd9/B Cadd9/A G6 Em11/F# – E *
no standards of any kind to break , no creeds to disavow
E D
i Am right here where you want me
E D
do what you brought me out here for .
A# A
you can arm me to the teeth .
( muted strumming ) E
you can’t make me go to war .
