Intro: D   Asus4 A    Em/G Em/A   G   x2 

D                              Asus4            A 
the garter snake passed lazily through the tall yellow-headed sourgrass 
Em/G            Em/A             G 
there was cold, clear water in a tall, clean glass 
D                                 Asus4                  A 
the sunlight hit the sides and it came through the water tilted 
Em/G      
i saw the condensation on your hand  
G 
i could feel the glaciers melting 

D                   A 
and a warm, soft wind 
D                   G 
covered up everything 
D                         A                  D 
on the day your love came screaming through me 

D                            Asus4         A 
you had oranges and lemons in a canvas bag beside you 
Em/G                 Em/A          G 
and seven different kinds of light welling up inside of you 
D                                    Asus4 
you smeared citrus pulp all over me, it felt okay 
Em/G          Em/A             G 
good old east rutherford three thousand miles away 

D                              A 
i felt the warm surge blast my mind 
D                G 
coming in from behind 
D                         A                  D 
on the day your love came screaming through me 

Break: D   Asus4 A    Em/G Em/A   G   x2 

D                     A 
in the fresh light of day 
D                        G 
i felt something falling away 
D                          A                D 
on the day your love came screaming through me
