Intro:
E G6 Em11/F# (open) E
G6 Em11/F# (open) E
[E]as we cruised across[G6] the [Em11/F#]Canadian [E]border
you reached into your handbag, pulled out a [G6]micro-[Em11/F#]cassette [E]recorder,
started quoting Tolstoy into the machine,
i had[G6] no i[Em11/F#]dea what you [E]meant.
i guess i'm supposed to figure these things out,
or [G6]maybe it's su[Em11/F#]pposed to be [E]self-evident.
but i've gone [C]feral[Cadd9/B],
Cadd9/A G6 Em11/F#-E*
and i don't speak the language anymore.
[C]we're headed [Cadd9/B]deep into the [Cadd9/A]forest, [G6] [Em11/F#] [E]
i've got the pedal to the floor.
the engine shudders, like a[D] dying man, when you[E] reach out to [D]grab my hand,
[A#]you can bring out all your [A]weapons,
you can't make me go to [E]war.
E* E*
G6 Em11/F# (open) E
G6 Em11/F# (open) E
E G6 Em11/F# E*
long winding Canadian highways, innumerable evergreens.
[E]weather forecast on the AM radio
says we'll [G6]be expecting [Em11/F#]highs in the[E] low teens
when i mouth my silent curses at you,[G6]
[Em11/F#]i can see my[E] breath.
i hope the stars don't even come out tonight.[G6]
i hope[Em11/F#] we both freeze[E] to death.
C Cadd9/B Cadd9/A G6 Em11/F# E*
look at the person i've turned into, tell me, how do you like him now?
C Cadd9/B Cadd9/A G6 Em11/F#-E*
no standards of any kind to break, no creeds to disavow
[E]i am right here where you [D]want me
[E]do what you brought me [D]out here for.
you can [A#]arm me to the [A]teeth.
(muted strumming) E
you can't make me go to war.
E* E*

End with string breaking power!
