[Verse]
D F# G
We lay down in the grass
D F# G
In our nest of sleeping bags
D F# G A A7
Breathing in the shallow canyon air
D F# G
The water, forty five degrees
D F# G
We wade out to the knees
D F# G A A7
And soak to the sleeves in a semi aquatic prayer
[Chorus]
G D A
Great state, what state am I in?
D F# G
Compass roses bloom again
Em Bm F# Bm
Home of the water, Canada’s daughter
G A
Cradled in a crescent moon grin
D F#m Bm A G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
D F#m Bm A G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
[Verse]
D F# G
Soft shoulders of sand dunes
D F# G
Porcupine cactus flowers bloom
D F# G A A7
In the dust of the devil’s empty living room
D F# G
Salt silts the flattened land
D F# G
Time like a snake in the sand
D F# G A A7
Powdered porcelain in a stranger’s hand
[Chorus]
G D A
Great state, what state am I in?
D F# G
Compass roses bloom again
Em Bm F# Bm
Home of the water, Canada’s daughter
G A
Cradled in a crescent moon grin
D F#m Bm A G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
D F#m Bm A G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
[Bridge]
F# Bm
Looking down to the high five
D A G
Grazing ground to hear the sound of a heavy sigh
F# Bm
Home is where you left your heart behind
D A G
Even fortified fossils dissolve over time
F# Bm
When I came home, I went down to the lake
D A G
My dad told me he counts up the days
F# Bm
And when I packed my bags, coffee stains of jet lag
D A G A
There were conifers lining the driveway, whispering
D F#m Bm A G
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
D F#m Bm A G G (stop)
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
[Chorus]
G D A
Great state, what state am I in?
D F# G
Compass roses bloom again
Em Bm F# Bm
Home of the water, Canada’s daughter
G A
Cradled in a crescent moon grin
D F#m Bm A G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
D F#m Bm A G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
