The lazy, hazy day is picking up the heat
  G                       C
On ripening fields of maize, hot earth beneath my feet

Let luck decide who gives the ride

So many things to say to you

Of love and life and who we are

This verge is full of flowers that come up year on year
       G                C
Sunshine into showers, still no one's passing here
          G
I need someone to remind me
     Am        G    F
Of water good, my memory's blurred

Verse:
          G            Am
The sailor and the song, the danger and bravado
         G             C
Of how he carried on and the loneliness that followed
            G
Throwing dice for the direction
    Am           G   C
Of the breeze, through random seas

Verse:
          G             Am
Oh, heaven help the soul that never finds its home
       G          C
Forever in a hole, always far too wrong
              G
Now the headlights blind my eyes
     Am       G   F
Redeeming light, into the night

Pre-Chorus:
         D      F
So many things to say to you
              D
Of love and life and who we are

Chorus:

So I'll sing this song for you
      Am G
On Rui's guitar...
    C         G
So I'll sing this song for you
      Am G
On Rui's guitar...
