[Verse 1]
A D D/C# Bm D D/C# Bm
Small town girl, Coca Cola grin, honeysuckle skin
E D F#m
Born beneath the ready sign of a strawberry moon
A D D/C# Bm D D/C# Bm
Small town girl shows up for her friends, crazy about The Bends
E D F#m
I was there when she first put away childish things
[Chorus]
D A
We had spring in our heels
D A E D F#m E
Unwavering forces, headfirst into the unknown
A E D A E
Like runaway horses in a fever till the end
A E Bm F#m D E A
And every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
[Verse 2]
A D D/C# Bm
You traded school for weddings rings and rent
D D/C# Bm E D F#m
Invitations sent of you and him by a barn out on the edge of town
A D D/C# Bm D D/C# Bm
Small town girl, you put your dreams on ice, never thinking twice
E D F#m
Some you’ll surely forget and some that you never will
[Chorus]
D A
There was a promise in our stride
D A E D F#m E
But we changed courses, headfirst into the unknown
A E D A E
Like runaway horses in a fever till the end
A E Bm F#m D E A
And every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
E D A E
Like runaway horses, it’s a long way back home again
A E Bm F#m D E A
When every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
