C#               F#maj7
When I saw the first time
      G#          C#  F#maj7
The thunder came crashing
C#             F#maj7
Your new blue eyeliner
G#            C#  F#maj7
Caught my distraction
A#m           A#m/G#
Like we were two lovers
F#maj7
Forming from friction
      G#
Your mouth caught my ear
      G#  C# F#   C#  G#
With such perfect diction
F#maj7                  C#
There I let you tie my hands back
     G#
And take me

Chorus:
       F#maj7      C#        G#
Oh Lorraine, on a Saturday morning
    D#m                 G#           C#
Oh Lorraine, with your soft burning hands

We fell asleep in
the back of the warehouse
I woke to you kneading
and covering my mouth
And like we were hummingbirds
screaming at ravens
You started to move me
from fact into fable
And there I let you
take me under the table

Chorus:
Oh, Lorraine on a Saturday morning
Oh, Lorraine with your soft, burning hands
