Am C G Am (x4)

Verse 1:

   Am           C          G       Am
I came to this world in a seaside town
           Am          C         G          Am
where the water could cool your broken body out
   Am              C             G             Am
I learned you can rise over the cards in your hand
Am          C           G           Am
Mama was a woman and a hard-workin' man
     Am         C           G             Am
Now everyone I know had to make their own bed
Am            C             G               Am
Try to do as good as their fathers did for them
   Am         C         G            Am
I never knew mine so I bandaged the hurt
   Am                C           G      Am
I pretended that my daddy was a bank robber

Pre-Chorus:

     F   G   Am       F
Say ooh-ooh-ooh (s-s-say)
F    G   Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Chorus:

        F        G      Am
Oh but you, you always said,
              C              G   F
"you're just too good a ship to wreck."
            Am
You said, "never mind nothin',
           F
there's a summertime humming
          C             G
once the bandages come off."
          F     G      Am
Yes, and you always believed
           C                   G  F
there was some kind of diamond in me
       Am                       F
Oh but if you still burn every night in the hurt,
          C                            G
I know a place where the pain doesn't reach
             Am     C   G
Come wander with me
      Am            C   G   Am
Come wander with me

Verse 2:

       Am         C             G           Am
Now I tried to believe but it's so hard to know
       Am         C              G                Am
How to do right, Rudy, with the seeds that we've sown
         Am         C            G         Am
But the voices are loud and the miles are long
     Am           C             G                Am
And heroes are a hard thing to find when you're gone

Pre-Chorus:

        F   G   Am     F
So say ooh-ooh-ooh (s-say)
F    G   Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Chorus:

        F        G      Am
Oh but you, you always said,
              C              G   F
"you're just too good a ship to wreck."
            Am
You said, "never mind nothin',
           F
there's a summertime humming
          C             G
once the bandages come off."
          F     G      Am
Yes, and you always believed
           C                   G  F
there was some kind of diamond in me
       Am                       F
Oh but if you still burn every night in the hurt,
          C                            G
I know a place where the pain doesn't reach
             Am     C   G
Come wander with me
      Am            C   G   Am
Come wander with me

Bridge:

       Am
Now I hope the things that trouble me,
            G
they don't catch you or put you on your knees
        C                                       F
But I found out time and work don't make you a man
         Am
Because time didn't teach me anything,
         G
and the working only broke my hands
          C                            F
And when someday came I did not understand
        Am    C   G   Am
U-understand,
       Am     C   G   Am
understand

Chorus:

        F        G      Am
Oh but you, you always said,
              C                  F
"you're just too good a ship to wreck."
            Am
You said, "never mind nothin',
           F
there's a summertime humming
          C             G
once the bandages come off."
          F     G      Am
Yes, and you always believed
           C                   G  F
there was some kind of diamond in me
       Am                       F
Oh but if you still burn every night in the hurt,
          C                            G
I know a place where the pain doesn't reach
             C
Come wander with me

Just past the door
