[Intro]
G D C

[Chorus]
G D C
Incomprehensible

Let me be
G D C
Incomprehensible

Let me be

[Verse]
D
Highway 17, cotton candy rain
Em
Driving with my lover, we missed our plane
C
So we added on the hours to see the lupine flowers
Am
Way out past the border, we blew through Thunder Bay
G
The pine trees are narrow, a billion broken arrows
Em
The ravens and the crows, robins and the sparrows
C
All across Ontario, just static on the stereo
Am
And swimming in the lake, Old Woman Bay
G
Traveling with some stuff I left when I was a kid
Em
Mr. Bear and the wooden box I hid
C
Full of broken gadgets that don't mean nothing now
Am
The only thing I'll keep are the letters and the photographs
D
In two days it's my birthday and I'll be 33
Em
But that doesn't really matter next to eternity
C
And I like a double number, and I like an odd one too
Am
And everything I see from now on will be something new
G Em C Am

[Verse 2]
G
"I'm afraid of getting older", that's what I learned to say
Em
'Cause society has given me the words to think that way
C
The message spins and spirals, "Don't get saggy, don't get grey"
Am
But the soft and lovely silvers are now falling on my shoulder
G
My mother and my grandma, my great-grandmother too
Em
They wrinkle like the river, sweeten like the dew
