Em C ten years older than I was what I brought you down to see, G what I thought would make you fall in love Em C wearing off on our dreams someday man I’m gonna be G no different than the other rivers I tried to look at you but I couldn't break the ice We stood out there for an hour and were freezing You put your hand around my back I guess you thought I needed that Chorus: G C I never tried to find you G and I hope you don't remember me and C I hope you’re not alone You wanted me to take you home You said you'd rather be alone I never thought of that The car was warm and we had wine But I couldn't find the perfect song Now I own furniture, a 401, and crow's feet And I can't even remember the car Sometimes I can feel your weight when I close my eyes Seven times I was under you Chorus: I never try to find you I hope you don't remember me But I hope you're not alone And I don't wanna know what you're thinking I'm looking out the window Just drinking and drinking and drinking Em shallow frame and shaky sticks C G but I know there's a river in me Em shallow minded adult tricks C G but I know there's a river in me Em shallow frame and shaky sticks C G but I know there's a river in me Chorus: I never try to find you I hope you don't remember me But I hope you're not alone And I don't wanna know what you're thinking I'm looking out the window Just sitting there Sitting down and fucking drinking | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
