Verse

But there I sit,
A E RIFF II

F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
But she was saving my soul that summer
Chorus

Or where some[F#m]body like me's go[Dsus2]nna wind up going
[A]All I know is [E]that I have already been
F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
[A]And that summer night,[E] shooting star paradise

[A]Even now [E]when I close my eyes
[F#m]I see her silhouette[Dsus2] dance on the river
[A]The way we spent those [E]endless nights
[Dsus2]That's the way I could spend forever
Chorus

[A]Somewhere just beyond the[E] Jericho line
