Verse 1:
C            Am
We're alone most of the time these days.
E            F
Jill used to come by, but she went away.
C                Am
And gail used to come around and trash the joint,
E           F
But she moved off to dana point.
F          G
And you went along, just for the ride,
     C       F
And you both committed suicide.

Chorus:
   F   G      C    Am
And day is breaking over cobscook bay.
     F          G        C
And I've never seen anything like it in my life.

Verse 2:
C            Am
Cow gave brith and her calves are snow white
E           F
They huddle up close together at night.
     C            Am
And the mamma cow leans down and cleans her young.
E          F
Licking their faces with her tongue,
F            G
And unmarked airplanes buzz the air.
      C        F         C
And you're falling off that cliff somewhere in california
F
Which I've never seen.
     C             F
I put the pieces all together, but I don't know what they mean,

Chorus:
   F   G      C    F
And day is breaking over cobscook bay.
     F          G        C
And I've never seen anything like it in my life.
