Black Sandy Beaches chords by The Dear Hunter

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
A minorAm                   C majorC      FF
Messages from broken bottles fall on black sandy beaches.
A minorAm                  C majorC      FF
Ink in vain across the page now run from morning dew.
A minorAm                           C majorC
Hands which chance upon it lead to eyes which strain to read,
FF
hearts which pound from love long overdue.
A minorAm                   C majorC      FF
Lips which press together, stifle, rhythmic, heavy, breaths.
       DmDm                 C majorC     Bb majorBb
Oh, how she smiles from vicarious love from the one he writes about.
   DmDm            C majorC      Bb majorBb
She must have been so glad for him to throw it out.

[Verse 2]
     A minorAm                C majorC
Further steps lead to yet another broken bottle,
FF
again the words contained have bled the page.
A minorAm                    C majorC
Whose tears were these, which ran the ink?
 FF
From who they'd pour to make this streak?

[Verse 3]
A minorAm
Were they his by chance from telling her, or hers by chance from reading it?
C majorC
They could have been collective
FF
They could have been from someone else
A minorAm                  C majorC
Why don't we see what's at the bottom?
 FF
Why don't we see what comes next?
       DmDm                C majorC       Bb majorBb
Oh how she cries from vicarious pain from the one he writes about.
   DmDm             C majorC       Bb majorBb
She must have been so sad for him to throw her out.
        FF      A minorAm
Let's just say she, she is better,
DmDm    C majorC  Bb majorBb
better off somehow.
       FF        A minorAm
Let's just say she, she has never been
DmDm   C majorC      Bb majorBb
happier than she is now.
       G minorGm
We couldn't fake it, so why even try?
      FF      A minorAm
Let's just say she is better,
DmDm    C majorC   Bb majorBb
better off somehow.
        FF    A minorAm
Let's just say she has never been
DmDm   C majorC      Bb majorBb
happier than she is now.
    FF       A minorAm
Let's just say she is better,
DmDm    C majorC  Bb majorBb
better off somehow.
    FF       A minorAm
Let's just say she has never been
DmDm     C majorC       Bb majorBb   FF
