"Guitar" lyrics

"Guitar"

I used to play your sister's guitar
I would plug it in and turn it up loud
Nothing like the way I strummed my chords
I knew how to make the notes ring out

But I left it in Savannah
I forgot it backstage at the cokehead bar
Never thought I'd lose
Something I cared about
Never thought we'd see ourselves for what we are

I used to play your sister's guitar
She left it on my bed one afternoon
I never knew what I needed
Until I was given this gift
A bright, shimmering sound
It always stayed in tune

But I left it in Savannah
I forgot it backstage at the cokehead bar
Never thought I'd lose
Something I loved so much
But I just left it there
Which leaves us where we are
