[Intro]

A minorAm FF (x2)

[Verse]

     A minorAm
Tonight I set out
                       FF
On a journey from behind your ears and your neck down
      G+G
Along the sharp curves of your spine.
      A minorAm
I hear you whispering
                      FF
Like a seashell that is trying to keep the ocean in,
        G+G
Tucked in the sand dunes of your skin.

[Chorus]

A minorAm       C majorC        FF    DmDm       A minorAm
But no matter how hard that we beg, the miles take you away,
       C majorC        FF    DmDm
And there's nothing that we can say.
A minorAm       C majorC     FF       Dn      A minorAm
You're leaving me and I realize this, hell has an address
     C majorC        DmDm    A minorAm
And I'm standing on it's doorstep.

[Interlude]

A minorAm FF (x2)

[Verse]

A minorAm
And later on I ignore the calls
     FF
While I watch the shapes our shadows take dancing on the walls.
A minorAm                                FF
I'm here with you, and you are here with me, and nothing can go wrong,
FF
At least until the morning comes.
A minorAm
But I can almost see the sunlight through the window,
FF              G+G
And I can almost taste the warm tears in your eyes,
A minorAm
So I wrap my arms around your waist and pull you close to say,
FF         G+G
"Endlessly, you belong with me."

[Chorus]

A minorAm       C majorC        FF    DmDm       A minorAm
But no matter how hard that we beg, the miles take you away,
       C majorC        FF    DmDm
And there's nothing that we can say.
A minorAm       C majorC     FF       Dn      A minorAm
You're leaving me and I realize this, hell has an address
     C majorC        DmDm    A minorAm
And I'm standing on it's doorstep.

[Interlude]

A minorAm FF (x8)

[Bridge]

FF               G+G  A minorAm
(Whoa) there's no pain I won't endure
                Dn
To keep my fingers locked in yours;
               FF
No distance I won't go. Goodbye Sky Harbor. Over, out, alone.

[Outro]
