Meet Me By The Rivers' Edge Tab par Gaslight Anthem

Em
See I've been here for 28 years.
            Bm
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels.
             C
We tattooed lines beneath our skin.
             G                      D (play chord let ring)
No surrender, my Bobby Jean.

               Em
We've been burned by all our fears.
               Bm
Just from growing up around here.
               C
Our father's factories marked our cars.
               G                                D
While Eden burned against the stars.



              G
And Sally said, Sally said.
             Em
I can't take no more regret.
                C
It cut us deep, into our souls.
                  G                     D
Came and climbed into our bed.
                 G
And Sally said, Sally said.

We're going to wash these sins away.

Or else we won't come back again.

You know I had these ballroom dreams.

That, as a child, came to me.

I was a boy in Grandma's arms.

                     G                      D
A mother's pride and a wounded heart.
                      Em
And I was full with fiery wonder.
                    Bm
You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls.
                    C                       
You were the only one who understood me then

and the only one who will.

Bridge:

          Em         D         C         G
And now I drive the 101 on the California night.
         Em              D         C              G
            
And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign.
          Em            D              C         G   
       
And we waltz, ballet up a boulevard to a place we never kept
          Em            D             C          G

  D    (long)
home.
