A                 D     D   Bm    D     D     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           Bm
Small town girl shows up for her friends,
D       D        Bm
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
And every step is a silver prayer
        D         E    A
in the face of a hard wind

You traded school for wedding rings and rent
Invitations sent of you and him by
a barn out on the edge of town
Small-town girl, you put your dreams on ice,
never thinking twice
Some you'll surely forget and some that you never will

Chorus:
There was a promise in our stride
But we changed courses, headfirst into the unknown
Like runaway horses in a fever ’til the end
And every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
Like runaway horses, it's a long way back home again
When every step is a silver prayer in the face of a hard wind
