Only In The Past Chords

(ver. 1)
The Be Good Tanyas
* I changed the key a bit to better suit my lower voice... 
hope it works for you! If you want to play in the same key 
as the 'Tanyas, just change all the chords 2 higher 
(ex D becomes F, etc.)

Verse:
D               E           
Run away to the seashore 
D                E
it doesn't matter anymore
D              E       D  E
Doesn't matter anymore
D                E        
Words dry up and fly away 
D                E
with the passing of the days

Eventually you just let the stone fall

I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
