Overboard Chords & Lyrics - Jeff Daniels

[Dm]Truth lives [F]next to [C]consequence, and comes and goes like w[Bb]inter winds
[Dm]Blowing ‘[F]cross the straits one [C]night, cold as death and real a[Bb]s sin
[Dm] [F] [C] [Bb]
And I loved her, and she loved me, bound for what was meant to be
C
But trouble travels silently—
[Dm] [F] [C] [Bb] [Dm] [F] [C]
There’s a girl in Michigan, up in Lake Superior, who’ll never bother us again
[C]Makin’ our lives ea[Bb]sier
[Dm] [F] [C] [Bb] [C] [Dm] [F] [C] [Bb]
With alibis so paper-thin, now that she is over me and over you, and overboard.
[Dm]Guide me t[F]oward that lonely [C]light, it’s your beacon in the n[Bb]ight.
[Dm]Now row us st[F]raight back to that s[C]hore, with frozen hands and muscles[Bb] sore.
[Dm] [F] [C] [Bb] [C]
And my back against your back, we glide along the water, black, both knowing there’s no turning back.
[Dm] [F] [C] Gm [Dm] [F] [C]
There’s a girl in Michigan, up in Lake Superior, who’ll never bother us again
[C]Makin’ our lives ea[Gm]sier
[Dm] [F] [C] [Bb] [C]
With alibis so paper-thin, now that she is out of sight and out of mind and overboard.
[Gm]She was never gonna le[Bb]t us go, had a h[F]old on me and a cu[C]rse on you.
[Gm]And as she lay there pale[Bb] on that shore, with her eyes gone b[F]lack where they once were [C]blue
[Gm]She could see me for the first time. [Bb] [Gm]
[Dm]There’s a g[F]irl in Mic[C]higan, who’s overbo[Bb]ard—
[Dm]Truth moved [F]on from conseque[C]nce, just when things were maki[Bb]ng sense.
[Dm]Her body w[F]ashed back onto s[C]hore, discovered by a neighbor[Bb] boy.
[Dm]And now she’s i[F]n our lives again, the t[C]hree of us in sh[Bb]adows.
