Capo 2
[Intro]
C E F (x3)
G G7
[Verse 1]
C E F
We lay down in the grass
C E F
In our nest of sleeping bags
C E F G G7
Breathing in the shallow canyon air
C E F
The water, 45 degrees
C E F
We wade out to the knees
C E F G G7
And soak to the sleeves in a semi-aquatic prayer
[Chorus]
F C G
Great state, what state am I in?
C E F
Compass roses bloom again
Dm Am E Am
Home of the water, Canada's daughter
F G
Cradled in a crescent moon grin
C E Am G F
Michigan and again and again and again and again
C E Am G F G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
[Verse 2]
C E F
Soft shoulders of sand dunes
C E F
Porcupine cactus flowers bloom
C E F G G7
In the dust of the devil's empty living room
C E F
Salt silts the flattened land
C E F
Time like a snake in the sand
C E F G G7
Powdered porcelain in a stranger's hand
[Chorus]
F C G
Great state, what state am I in?
C E F
Compass roses bloom again
Dm Am E Am
Home of the water, Canada's daughter
F G
Cradled in a crescent moon grin
C E Am G F
Michigan and again and again and again and again
C E Am G F G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
[Bridge]
E Am
Looking down to the high five
C G F
Grazing ground to hear the sound of a heavy sigh
E Am
Home is where you left your heart behind
C G F
Even fortified fossils dissolve over time
E Am
When I came home, I went down to the lake
C G F
My dad told me he counts up the days
E Am
And when I packed my bags, coffee stains of jet lag
C G F G
There were conifers lining the driveway, whispering
C E Am G F
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
C E Am G F G
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
[Chorus]
F C G
Great state, what state am I in?
C E F
Compass roses bloom again
Dm Am E Am
Home of the water, Canada's daughter
F G
Cradled in a crescent moon grin
[Outro]
C E Am G F
Michigan and again and again and again and again (x8)
