Dm F C Bb
[Verse 1]
Dm F C
Truth lives next to consequence
Bb Dm
It comes and goes like winter wind
F C
Blowing across the straits one night
Bb Dm
Cold as death and real as sin
F C
I loved her and she loved me
Bb
Bound for what was meant to be
Bb Bb
But trouble travels silently
[Chorus]
Dm F C
There's a girl in Michigan
Bb Dm
Up in Lake Superior
F C
Who'll never bother us again
Bb Dm
Making our lives easier
F C
With alibis so paper thin
Bb
Now that she is over me and
Bb
Over you and
Bb
Overboard
Dm F C Bb
[Verse 2]
Dm F C
Guide me toward that lonely light
Bb Dm
It's your beacon in the night
F C
Now row us straight back to that shore
Bb Dm
With frozen hands and muscles sore
F C
And my back against your back
Bb
We glide along the water black
Bb Bb
Both knowing there's no turning back
[Chorus]
Dm F C
There's a girl in Michigan
Bb Dm
Up in Lake Superior
F C
Who'll never bother us again
Bb Dm
Making our lives easier
F C
With alibis so paper thin
Bb
Now that she is out of sight and
Bb
Out of mind and
Bb
Overboard
[Bridge]
Gm Bb
She was never gonna let us go
F
Had a hold on me
C Gm
And a curse on you
Bb
As she lay there pale upon that shore
F
With her eyes gone black
C Gm
They once were blue
She could see me for the first time
Bb
[Chorus]
Dm F C
Now there's a girl in Michigan
Bb
Who's overboard
[Verse 3]
Dm F C
Truth moved on from consequence
Bb Dm
Just when things were making sense
F C
Her body washed back home to shore
Bb Dm
Discovered by a neighbor boy
F C
And now she's in our lives again
Bb
The three of us in shadows
