 [           ]


 Verse 1: (0:17)

                               
turn home from bars and weaving closets full
                                    
of stuttered turns when pedals redden roads
                                   
we'd pass through farms, the orchards are aligned
                                       
it looks too slow as we lay against the floor

 Verse 2: (1:14)

                       
the green fury becomes a monument
                                          
slips off the road and new years become new lines
                         
we didn't see the lights against the sky
                                   
we didn't see we were too far up the road


 Chorus: (1:46) (Just play chords a BIT faster than the verse) 

                        
  it's how canadians must feel
                         
everything they see is real
                       
my palms were made to match my eyes
                         
  it's how canadians watch days 
                        
in a million different ways 
                  
and i am for the northern side


(The first 2 times let the strings ring before playing next chord)
                        
watch the signs turn into lines (x4)
