D                      Bm
We were parked in your car
        G               D         G            A                             
in our neutral meeting place, the Episcopalian churchyard
D                      Bm
I had things I’d been meaning to say
           G               D                     G               A                 
but in the dazzling winter sun that late I could feel them melt away


                F#m
And through the warm radio static
           Bm
I couldn’t hear my stage directions
        C
And the fog on the windshield
G                     A
Obscured our sad reflections
D         Asus4    A         Em      G   Riff D      
I felt so desperate in your arms
D         A     Asus4        Em      G   Riff D      
I felt so desperate in your arms


We were parked near some trees
And the moonlight soaked the branches in ever-deepening degrees
Had my hand in your hair
Trying to keep my cool ‘til it became too much to bear

When we cracked the windows open
Well the air was just so sweet
We could hear the cars ten feet away
Out there on the street

I felt so desperate in your arms
