[Intro]

Am F (x2)

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Interlude]

Am F (x2)

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Interlude]

Am F (x8)

[Bridge]

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

[Outro]
