verse 1 
C               Fmaj7 
When I saw the first time  
G                C 
The thunder came crashing 
C             Fmaj7 
Your new blue eyeliner  
G            C 
Caught my distraction 
Fmaj7        C 
Like we were two lovers  
Fmaj7         C 
Forming  from friction  
G                    C 
Your mouth caught my ear 
     Fmaj7 Am C   G 
With such perfect diction  
Fmaj7                  C 
There I let you tie my hands back  
    G 
And take me  
 
    Fmaj7          C        G 
Oh, Lorraine, on a Saturday morning  
    Fmaj7              G            C           
Oh, Lorraine, with her soft burning hands  
 
verse 2 
C       Fmaj7 
We fell asleep in  
G               C 
The back of the warehouse  
C             Fmaj7 
I woke to you needing 
G            C 
And covering my mouth  
Fmaj7        C 
Like we were hummingbirds  
Fmaj7         C 
Screaming at ravens 
G              C 
You started to move me  
     Fmaj7 Am  C   G 
From fattened to fable  
Fmaj7                   C 
There I let you take me under  
    G 
The table 
 
    Fmaj7          C        G 
Oh, Lorraine, on a Saturday morning  
    Fmaj7              G            C           
Oh, Lorraine, with her soft burning hands
