[Verse 1]
 - Straight eighths
   If you could read my mind
   You’d say "baby you’re right
   And I don’t wanna fight anymore"
   You’re usually righter than I am
   And I’m not a very good fighter
   Am I? No neither are you
   So let’s be through with this one
   Because some things never change

   Who builds her own frames
   For the pictures that she paints
   Of the lights in Monterey
   Coming across the bay
   Right back to my same girl

[Verse 2]
   How can you be so calm
   When the truth is sometimes
   We live in the eye of the storm
   With everything going on around us
   I feel comfort in the sounds when you say
   It will be ok
   Like a star guiding me
   To the light of the day
   The doldrums could follow me
