Verse:
E

Highway 17, cotton candy rain
F#m
Driving with my lover, we missed our plane
   D
So we added on the hours to see the lupine flowers
Bm
Way out past the border, we blew through Thunder Bay
  A
The pine trees are narrow, a billion broken arrows
  F#m
The ravens and the crows, robins and the sparrows
D
All across Ontario, just static on the stereo
  Bm
And swimming in the lake, Old Woman Bay
A
Traveling with some stuff I left when I was a kid
F#m
Mr. Bear and the wooden box I hid
D
Full of broken gadgets that don't mean nothing now
  Bm
The only thing I'll keep are the letters and the photographs
  E
In two days it's my birthday and I'll be 33
  F#m
But that doesn't really matter next to eternity
  D
And I like a double number, and I like an odd one too
  Bm
And everything I see from now on will be something new


A F#m D Bm


Verse 2:
   A
"I'm afraid of getting older", that's what I learned to say
   F#m
'Cause society has given me the words to think that way
  D
The message spins and spirals, "Don't get saggy, don't get grey"
    Bm
But the soft and lovely silvers are now falling on my shoulder
  A
My mother and my grandma, my great-grandmother too
   F#m
They wrinkle like the river, sweeten like the dew
    D
And as silver as the rainbow scales that shimmer purple blue
    Bm
How can beauty that is living be anything but true?
    A
So let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair
    F#m
Let me dance in front of people without a care
    D
Let me be naked alone with nobody there
   Bm
Or with mismatched socks and shoes and stuff stuffed in my underwear


Outro:
