Intro:
(x2)
Verse:
Hey girl
I recognize your shape
From across the field
You re making my heart race
Your confident stride
You kept a steady pace
From across the field
I can t forget your shape
So certain I knew ya
From this life or another
Aren t you the same girl
From the magazine cover?
Started a turf war
Between Athens and Sparta
Three hundred soldiers
All died because I loved ya
All right...
Chorus:
If I may be so bold as to ask
What is you name
Why you run so fast
Raining for weeks
The sun shines at last
Darling, lay down
Splendor in the grass
(x2)
Second verse (same chords as first first):
Hey girl
Ah, what s inside your chest?
I m really curious
Where do you lay your head down to rest?
And who s inside your picture frame?
Oh, you re all alone in your picture frame
And could I be
The one who stayed inside your picture frame?
All right...
Ok, uh-huh
If I may be so bold as to ask
What is you name
Why you run so fast
Raining for weeks
The sun shines at last
Darling, lay down
Splendor in the grass
Splendor in the grass
Splendor in the grass
(x2)
Bridge:
(x2)
If I may be so bold as to ask
What is your name
Why you run so fast
Waited for weeks
The sun shines at last
Darling, lay down...
If I may be so bold as to ask
What is you name
Why you run so fast
Raining for weeks
The sun shines at last
Darling, lay down
Splendor in the grass
Lay down
Splendor in the grass
Slow down
Splendor in the grass
Splendor in the grass
Lay down
Slow down
