Artist: Dar Williams
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: [G]
I'm sorry that I left you with your [Bm]questions all alone
But I [C]was too happy [D]driving and too [Bm]angry to drive [C]home
I was [G]thinking about the easy courage [Bm]of my distant friends
They said [C]I could let this [D]bridge wash out and [Bm]never make [C]amends
Can I [D]blow this small town, [Bm]make a big sound
[C]Like the star of a film noir postcard
[Am]Can I just forget the frames I [Em]shared with you
[CHORUS]
And I [G]can't believe what they're saying
They're saying I can [D]change my mind
Start over on [Am]Spring Street
I'm welcome an[D]ytime_[Bm]_____[C]_
Well, there are [G]Spring Street storefront daisies, floating [Bm]on their neon stems
There are [C]new shirts on the [D]clothes racks, should I [Bm]feel like one of [C]them
Well, I can [G]find a small apartment, where a [Bm]struggling artist died
And pre[C]tend, because I [D]pay the rent, I [Bm]know that pain in[C]side
Yeah, let's [D]watch the tour bus [Bm]stop and tell us
[C]Here's the scene of a spring green life dream
[Am]Take the best part, write it in your [Em]caffeine diary
[CHORUS]
And I [G]can't believe what they're saying
They're saying [D]I can leave tonight
Start over on [Am]Spring Street
I'm welcome an[D]ytime_[Bm]_____[C]_
INTERLUDE: [G]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bm]Oooh, [C]ooh, ooh, [D]ooh [Bm] [C]
This year [G]April had a blizzard, just to [Bm]show she did not care
And the [C]new dead leaves, they [D]made the trees look like [Bm]children with grey h[C]air
But I'll [G]push myself up through the dirt and [Bm]shake my petals free
I'm re[C]solved to being [D]born and so re[Bm]signed to brave[C]ry
Yeah, the [D]one who leaves this, [Bm]also grieves this
[C]Too much rain on a prairie flood plain
[Am]Houses floating, love is like that, [Em]we built on the river
[CHORUS]
And [G]that's to say, yeah, I'm leaving
But [D]I don't have to go there
I don't have to go to [Am]Spring Street
'Cause it's spring ever[D]ywhere[Bm]_____[Em]___
