The Dress

G                       C           G
White cotton dress that tied at the waist
Em                   D      C
Bare summer arms and eyelet lace
    G                         C           G
Not short and not long, comes down to the knee
   Em                  D          C
On top of the laundry, folded and clean
But I could have sworn
                         G           D
That I threw that thing away back in June
      C
Snuck out to the alley
                        G              D
And buried it under the trash, one afternoon
Am               C        D
I can't trust my memory anymore

           G    D  C
Was it the dress I wore?
           G    D  C
Was it the wine he poured?
               Em  D     C
Was there some sign I ignored?
               D  C             Em    D   C Em D C
Was there even time to run from that storm?

        G                  C            G
I don't cry or go crazy, I just hold my breath
Em                      D        C
Keep it all safe locked up in my chest
    G                          C          G
Deadbolt the front door, don't answer the phone
Em                         D        C
Sleep with the lights on, afraid of being alone
                            Em
And I go back through every detail
       D                C
Like a photograph in my mind
Am                       Em   D
Searching for what I did wrong
                C
I never find it in time

           G    D  C
Was it the dress I wore?
           G    D  C
Was it the wine he poured?
               Em  D     C
Was there some sign I ignored?
               D  C             Em    D   C
Was there even time to run from that storm?

                Em D C
To run from that storm?
          Em      D         C
I'm still runnin' from that storm
          Em     D         C
I'm still runnin' from that storm
