Best Intentions

    C*                                     F*
Got bored in your bedroom so we went for a drive
       C*                                     F*
To the lake where I grew up, it was almost midnight
        C*                                              F*
Stole a boat and rowed out, watched the moon eclipse go by
        C*                                F
And the water below us was as deep as the love that kept us floating there
                        F*
But this boat's sinking slowly now that you're gone

[Verse 1]
C                               F
I guess we'll just stop talking then
          C
We can forget this ever happened
             F                           Am
'Cause it's obvious I can't just be your friend
             F                Am            F
I'm going in circles 'cause I only have one paddle out here alone

C                        F
Got back to shore 'bout 2AM
               C
I grabbed your jacket on the boat dock
      F                    Am
And I pulled you in and we kissed
          F                  Am
It was so dark, I found your lips
       F
Only because I felt your breath

C                          F
I know that soon I will be fine
              C
You left this void the size of pines lake
        F                          Am
Now I'm filling it up one cup at a time
         F                 Am            F*
And if I knew that was the last time I'd see you

I might have said

[Bridge]
C*                           F*
Hey Mary, that was one crazy summer
       C*                              F*
I know after this we'll never see each other
    C*                                      F*
I'm old enough now to know nothing lasts forever
    C*
The only thing I ask is please

[Verse 2]
F                              G
Remember every detail of this moment
                            Am
Because once you close that door you'll never see me
         C
And some day you might remember
        F
When we drove out to the lake
            G                               Am
And stole a boat to see the moon eclipse go by
                              C
And when you think of this, I just want you to picture
        F
Both my eyes looking intently
        G
Hear my words as free verse poetry
        Am
Feel my hands painting your body
         C
Don't regret you ever met me
         F
'Cause I know you couldn't love me
       G                             Am
But if I must be a memory  won't you frame me in a way
              C                              F
That you will smile when you're picturing my face
                           G
And then I promise I won't call you like I did
           Am
When I was drunk in Austin, Texas
        C
Swear I had the best intentions
        F*                             G*
I won't call you like I did when I was drunk in Austin, Texas
      Am*
And I let out all my demons
        C*
Swear I had the best intentions
