DThat was the Dsus4summer that folloDwed the Dsus2spring,
DSad anniveDsus4rsary of a Dthousand old Dsus2things,
DI was letting them Ggo. G/F# Em
The words of Colette amd a strange new perfume,
Were drenching my senses and filling the room,
The heat in our bodies, the light in our eyes,
First the surrender, and then we could fly,
We were letting it go.
chorus
We'Are blinded to the beauBmty in our own Elives,
But I was Gtaking all that I could Aget,
For five or six Bmhours in the month of EJuly,
Asus4......The summer I read ColDette.
(Repeat intro, then into verse two)
The time was a line and we learned how to crawl,
Our bones were a prison and our memory involved,
If it weren't for the past I'd feel nothing at all,
Now I'm letting it go.
It's more than survival, the lesson in hand,
For I found salvation was quite a surprise,
That was the summer that followed the spring,
A new way of feeling a million old things.
chorus

And I found Paris one hundred years lGatAe,B C D
A/C#bass G/Dbass
Colette is sleeping in Pere Lachaise,
My ear to the Astone,
(**BaGss note run down G FG/F## E)
I could hear her saying 'Nous nous reveillons'
Em....then back to intro....Instrumental...
I sold my silver to get myself there,
To a room with a candle up three flights of stairs.
That was the summer I let it all go,
To fill up my body with my heart and my soul.
chorus
Notes.
Pere Lachaise is the big cemetary in Paris, and 'nous
nous reveillons' means 'we will wake up'.
I could have misheard some of the words. They aren't
printed on the cd cover, so be careful.
If this seems confusing, listen to the cd a couple of
times and the chords and bass runs should make sense.
