The Thermals St. Rosa and the Swallows Lyrics

e.g. G#m/B means G#m barre chord slide to B
All chords are barred
Chords used:
e e* F# G#m A# B C#m D#
Intro: G#m/B
Passing the corners we kissed in the rain
Passing the old rusted warning signs
What did they say?
I think they said run!
Passing the roofs of excuses we made
Passing these open windows
What made me turn away?
How did I fight the flat days and the static nights?
e*/D# F#/G#m
Saint Rosa, she flies!
She flies with the swallows
e*/D#
Saint Rosa, I feel
F#/G#m F#/e
I could follow back to Capistrano
And I will hold you tight
Through the cold days and the frozen nights
Passing our enemies
Passing our friends
Passing the things we use to tell the difference between
It's subtle
And I try to remember if I was ever lonely
If I was ever low? Hell, hell yes I was low
How did I fight the flat days and the static nights?
e*/D# F#/G#m
Saint Rosa, she flies!
She flies with the swallows
e*/D#
Saint Rosa, I feel
F#/G#m F#/e
I could follow back to Capistrano
And I will hold you tight
Through the cold days and the frozen nights
Passing all the days I switched to auto mode
Days for which I've nothing to show
Passing all the days I'm afraid I'll forget
The days only clear for a second
e*/D# F#/G#m
The days only clear for a second
e*/D# F#/G#m
The days only clear for a second
But I will hold you tight
Through the cold days and the frozen nights
When it's cold, cold, cold
G#m/B End on C#m
