verse 1
C Fmaj7
When I saw the first time
G C
The thunder came crashing
C Fmaj7
Your new blue eyeliner
G C
Caught my distraction
Fmaj7 C
Like we were two lovers
Fmaj7 C
Forming from friction
G C
Your mouth caught my ear
Fmaj7 Am C G
With such perfect diction
Fmaj7 C
There I let you tie my hands back
G
And take me
Fmaj7 C G
Oh, Lorraine, on a Saturday morning
Fmaj7 G C
Oh, Lorraine, with her soft burning hands
verse 2
C Fmaj7
We fell asleep in
G C
The back of the warehouse
C Fmaj7
I woke to you needing
G C
And covering my mouth
Fmaj7 C
Like we were hummingbirds
Fmaj7 C
Screaming at ravens
G C
You started to move me
Fmaj7 Am C G
From fattened to fable
Fmaj7 C
There I let you take me under
G
The table
Fmaj7 C G
Oh, Lorraine, on a Saturday morning
Fmaj7 G C
Oh, Lorraine, with her soft burning hands
