F      F/Bb            F
We got in your car and we hit the highway
F        F/Bb           F
Eastern sun was rising over the mountains
           Bb
Yellow and blood red bits
       F             F/Bb F
like a kaleidoscope

And flaming swords may guard the garden of Eden
But we consulted maps from earlier days
Dead languages on our tongues
Holding on to our last hope

        G/C (just play a C on 3rd fret barred with the bar covering the 3rd fret 6th 
string G as well)
And the day was bright and fine
        Bb          C                F              
Bb   C
And the highway sign said, “San Bernadino welcomes you”’

I checked us into our motel and filled the bathtub
And you got in the warm warm water
I pulled petals from my pocket
I loved you so much just then

And it was hard but you were brave, you are splendid
And we will never be alone in this world
no matter what they say
We’re gonna be okay
