Intro: A minorAm

A minorAm
When the hills let go
Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover
           G+G
On a ship filled with ghosts
          A minorAm
It's something to behold

A minorAm
When the paper thin girls
With twisting little braids in their hair,
                G+G
They take off their coats and throw
Pebbles and stones from the side of the boat,
      FF
Crying out
      G+G           A minorAm
The stones they float, the stones they float
     FF      G+G             A minorAm
Oh my God, the stones they float, the stones they float

A minorAm
Down the burning ropes
Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies
              G+G
You make your bed under the moonlight
              A minorAm
I think it's time we said goodbye

A minorAm
Cause nothing moves in the warm air
And words that once would cut like a knife,
                 G+G
They just hang in the cloud and you're
Pushed by the lord,
                 FF
But you're pulled by the crowds and
      G+G         A minorAm
You're overboard, you're overboard
     FF     G+G        A minorAm
Oh my God, she's overboard, she's overboard

A minorAm         G+G  FF (last two strumming)
My love she's overboard
        A minorAm G+G FF (strumming)
She's overboard
             A minorAm G+G FF
My love she's over board

Some uuuhs and aaaaahs with A minorAm G+G FF

A minorAm
Not a shell unbroken
In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay
             G+G
It's not the time to be hanging around here
           A minorAm
You know what some might say

A minorAm
That people get too reckless
That even with the simplest of crimes
They leave, blood behind,
   G+G                   FF
As I clean the knife for the very last time
    G+G         A minorAm
I think she knows, I think she knows
     FF    G+G          A minorAm
Oh my God, I think she knows, I think she knows

I think she know

Uuuuhs and aAaahhs with A minorAm G+G FF

Enjoy
