 Rain hits my head hard, It seems like this never will stop
  I  close  my eyes,  and I'm  like a girl in a crib
  Afraid  of what might  come, but too  scared to miss it, I know
  I  wouldn't  miss you
  for the world

 But I'm so lonely, well, I guess I have myself to blame
  Cause  I led  you north,  and I  can't stop thinking of you
  You  remind  me of somebody  else, someone  you'd have seen in a film
  And  I wouldn't  miss  you
 
 for the world
  So then I pick up my guitar
  And describe you in a song
  Like so many else did,
  But not exactly the same way as I
  Cause I describe your peculiar figure
  And then I form a peculiar song
  And by then you'll have made a difference
 Oh, let me take  you to Montauk
  Cause  that's where we're meant  to be
  We'll  hit the road when you come  back
  And  I'll walk you to  the beach
 
 
 
  (chords only, play around with them for something more interesting, or
 call a friend with a Stratocaster)
