[Intro(4x)]
C Dm G Am G
C Dm
the clasp broke at the disco Mom I'm sorry
G
& the older men who hit on Becky
Am G C
nearly broke their necks on scattered pearls
Dm
& we searched the best we could
G Am
for two entire songs we knelt & felt along
G C Dm Am
the place where we had stood
G C Dm G Am G
but we only found 7 of Grandmother's pearls

C Dm
& as we rode the bus home I thought surely
G Am
I'd wake up tomorrow just to find
G C
that I had dreamed up everything
Dm
there'd still be pearls on a string
G
I wouldn't smell like smoke & I'd still
Am G C Dm
have the cash that I had spent on drinks
Am G C Dm G
oh I feel as scattered as Grandmother's pearls
Am G C Dm G
Mom don't cry
Am G C Dm G Am G
they're only pearls
