I wanted to do a collaboration between Dweebish and Lulina, so Lu and I worked this up.

verse 1:
G
I take your picture with me
Dm
Every place I go
C
I ask everyone I meet
G
Is this a face you know

G
everybody's story's
Dm
just like mine these days
C
With sad eyes they look down
G
and then they turn away

Chorus
Dm
Storms tossed and tore apart
G
All of our dreams and all of our plans
Dm
In a tidal wave's aftermath
G
washed out to sea like castles of sand

F
my mind drifts back,
back to the days
C
of grapes on the vine,
G
the smell of the fresh-mown hay

F
my memories fade
and time dulls the pain
C
like watermelon sugar
G
Melts in the morning rain

verse 2:
G
I remember the tanks
Dm
roll through the streets
C
The smell of blood,
G
the sound of marching feet

G
And the way you looked at me
Dm
as you slipped into the night
C
To join with the resistance,
G
Take up arms and fight

Chorus
Storms tossed and tore apart
All of our dreams and all of our plans
In a tidal wave's aftermath
washed out to sea like castles of sand

my mind drifts back,
back to the days
of grapes on the vine,
the smell of the fresh-mown hay

my memories fade
and time dulls the pain
like watermelon sugar
Melts in the morning rain
