I Never Touched Her

September 22nd, 2012

Lyrics And Chords

INTRO ; Amin9

Amin                             G       Fmaj7       Amin9

Across the verglas of my dreams

Amin                             G       Fmaj7       Amin9

I watch your car careen

 D                                  Amin

On the blacktop, spinning steel

 G                                 Amin

You’re sleeping at the wheel

 Dmin                           Amin

Can’t stop you hit the wall

 G               Gsus4             G

I don’t have the wherewithal

 Cmaj7                   Famj7               Cmaj7

She looked at me so crookedly

 Cmaj7                   Famj7               Cmaj7

Spoke to me so brokenly

 Dmin

Bowed her head

 Amin

And then she gave

 G                            Amin

One last coquettish wave

 D            Amin                G     Gsus4      G

It was just the way I loved her

 Amin9

 Amin                             G       Fmaj7       Amin9

I hear your broken chords

 Amin                             G       Fmaj7       Amin9

They fall in ragged shards

 D                                  Amin

O my squandered star

 G                                 Amin

Shot full of holes

 Dmin                        Amin             G               Gsus4             G

And lamented by saccharine hearts and steel guitar

 Cmaj7                   Famj7               Cmaj7

She looked at me so crookedly

 Cmaj7                   Famj7               Cmaj7

Spoke to me so brokenly

 Dmin

Bowed her head

 Amin

And then she gave

 G                            Amin

One last coquettish wave

 D            Amin                G     Gsus4      G

It was just the way I loved her

 Amin                                     Dmin

But I never touched her

 Cmaj7                   Famj7               Cmaj7

She looked at me so crookedly

 Cmaj7                   Famj7               Cmaj7

Spoke to me so brokenly

 Cmaj7                   Famj7               Cmaj7

She looked at me so bookishly

 Cmaj7                   Famj7          G     Gsus4      G

It was just the way I loved her

 Cmaj7                   Famj7               Cmaj7

I never touched her

 OUTRO ; G7sus4     G

 

Lyrics

Across the verglas of my dreams

I watch your car careen

On the blacktop, spinning steel

You’re sleeping at the wheel

Can’t stop you hit the wall

I don’t have the wherewithal

 

She looked at me so crookedly

Spoke to me so brokenly

Bowed her head

And then she gave one last coquettish wave

It was just the way I loved her

 

I hear your broken chords

They fall in ragged shards

O my squandered star

Shot full of holes

And lamented by saccharine hearts and steel guitar

 

She looked at me so crookedly

Spoke to me so brokenly

Bowed her head

And then she gave one last coquettish wave

It was just the way I loved her

 

But I never touched her

 

She looked at me so crookedly

Spoke to me so brokenly

She looked at me so bookishly

It was just the way I loved her

 

I never touched her
