Riff 1 = D MajorD - C majorC - A augmentedA

A augmentedA           Dsus2Dsus2
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
    Em11Em11    Dsus2Dsus2  A augmentedA
With a flame and a book of signs.
           Dsus2Dsus2
You'll never know how hard I've failed
     Em11Em11  Dsus2Dsus2  A augmentedA
Trying to make up for lost time.



A augmentedA         Dsus2Dsus2
Once I believed in things unseen
   Em11Em11      A augmentedA
I was blinded by the dark
        Dsus2Dsus2
Out of the multitude to me,
  Em11Em11   Dsus2Dsus2  A augmentedA
He came and broke my heart



     Em11Em11    Dsus2Dsus2   A augmentedA
When the dust in the field has flown,
    Em11Em11    Dsus2Dsus2   A augmentedA
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
    Em11Em11      Dsus2Dsus2
And you doubt you will ever be free,
Riff1       Riff1
Don't bail on me

A augmentedA         Dsus2Dsus2
River is wide and oh so deep,
    Em11Em11   Dsus2Dsus2 A augmentedA
And it winds and winds around
          Dsus2Dsus2
I dream we're happy in my sleep,
     Em11Em11   Dsus2Dsus2  A augmentedA
Floating down and down and down



    Em11Em11    Dsus2Dsus2    A augmentedA
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
     Em11Em11   Dsus2Dsus2     A augmentedA
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
     Em11Em11    Dsus2Dsus2
And we're waiting for someone to see,
Riff1        Riff1
Don't bail on me



A augmentedA     Dsus2Dsus2
Tell ma I loved the man
   Em11Em11   Dsus2Dsus2   A augmentedA
Even though I turned and ran
         Dsus2Dsus2
Lovely and fine I could have been
Em11Em11        Dsus2Dsus2    A augmentedA
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Em11Em11        Dsus2Dsus2    A augmentedA
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Em11Em11        Dsus2Dsus2    A augmentedA
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Em11Em11        Dsus2Dsus2    A augmentedA
Staying down in the palm of his hand



    Em11Em11    Dsus2Dsus2    A augmentedA
In the morning you wait for the sun,
  Dsus2Dsus2  Em11Em11     A augmentedA
And secretly hope it won't come,
  Dsus2Dsus2    Em11Em11   Dsus2Dsus2
But time washes everyone clean,
       Riff1
Honey now, don't bail on me
Riff1       Riff1
Don't bail on me
Riff1       Riff1
Don't bail on me
