Last night the street collapsed on itself
C C/B Am
In fact it broke right in two
Em D/F# G
And I fell in strawberry vines
C Am
Into a pool of strawberry wine
G D/F# G F# G
Strawberry wine inclines
C C/B Am
Burning in the desert surrounded by fires
Em D/F# G
but the stems break beyond more than the morning calls
C C/B Am
Till its all just the same thing again oh god
D Am (C/B)
Dont spend too much time on the other side

Let the daylight in

Marty was a kid when he learned to sail boats

He jumped into the banks of San Francisco Bay
C Am
Picking strawberries in the clouds all day
G F#-G F#-G
Cause with nothing left to lose you get screwed

Then you jump straight into the arms of the most beautiful girl
