Intro:
(B E F# B)

Verse 1:
(B E F# B):

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

Chorus:
(E F# B):

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

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

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

B E F# B

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

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