Intro:
(BB E MajorE F#F# BB)

Verse 1:
(BB E MajorE F#F# BB):

   BB           E MajorE
i was pulled out of bed by a single thread
  F#F#            BB
it tugged me to death by my clothing
   BB            E MajorE
and i was led to a door i’d never seen before
    F#F#           BB
with an old gentle glow of its opening
      BB              E MajorE
where i was a child pressed against your flower dress
      F#F#           BB
i clung to it like i did before i lost you
      BB              E MajorE
and i could tell you were cured you were happier
       F#F#               BB
your perfect words were the comfort that you offered

Chorus:
(E MajorE F#F# BB):

   E MajorE    F#F#        BB
and i sat and thought about the way that women talk
  E MajorE       F#F#     BB
how carefully the words are chosen
       E MajorE    F#F#    BB
and without missing a beat you lift me off my feet
     E MajorE     F#F#      BB
and throw me in the depths of the ocean

Verse 2:
   BB          E MajorE
where i had a dream that i couldn’t breathe
     F#F#        BB
that the vicious sea was attacking
  BB            E MajorE
it wrestled my tongue as it filled my lungs
     F#F#           BB
with the pressure that i’d been avoiding
   BB              E MajorE
and i sank to the depths where the bodies slept
   F#F#         BB
and a sign that read its warnings
       BB            E MajorE
said: “he who opens his mouth while already drowned
F#F#              BB
insults the knowledge of the ocean“

Chorus:
   E MajorE       F#F#       BB
so i sat inside to wait for it to dry
      E MajorE         F#F#     BB
until the sun had turned the sea into a meadow
      E MajorE     F#F# BB
and when i opened my eyes you were by my side
      E MajorE      F#F#      BB
waiting for me with the trees and the pebbles

BB E MajorE F#F# BB

Verse 3:
     BB               E MajorE
and i said: “how could this be“ you said: “i just followed the string
       F#F#            BB
that comes to me when i sleep, when i’m dreaming
     BB              E MajorE
my little star, my baby love, i wasn’t giving up
   F#F#             BB
just taking the break i thought i needed“
       BB              E MajorE
and i said: “build me a wall that’s indestructible
   F#F#        BB
place it all around my body
    BB            E MajorE
have it blocking the sun so that when it comes
    F#F#          BB
i’ll be right here where you left me“

Chorus:
   E MajorE   F#F#    BB
i’ll sleep away the sadness of today
     E MajorE      F#F#     BB
and bury deep in the sheets that surround me
     E MajorE   F#F#    BB
yeah i’ll sleep until the blankets and the quilts
E MajorE         F#F#  BB
dissolve into the soil around me
