[Intro]

Em/B  Bm  D/A  C/G  x2


[Verse 1]

Em/B       Bm
Oh love when I get lonesome
     D/A         C/G
I'm gonna call you up into my world
      Em/B        Bm
When waters rise up I do my best
      D/A           C/G
To keep my home floating upon your chest
Em/B        Bm
Oh love when I get lonesome
     D/A           C/G
I'm gonna grow you up like you deserve

      Em/B           Bm
You'll be a big tree, branching up around me
       D/A      C/G
I'll be your baby, cradle me safely


[Chorus]

     Am       C
Come on and hold me like I'm your girl
     Am          C
And I'll hold you like I'm your girl
  Am           C
In this the ending of the world


[Verse 2]

      Em/B          Bm
After the gold rush shook off the gold dust
      D/A               C/G
After we'd taken more than god had meant for us
       Em/B        Bm
We dammed up plenty but still felt empty
       D/A        C/G
The land was rich but we left it poor
       Em/B        Bm
I've spent a fine sum, but I will share
       D/A        C/G
I know you're thirsty and unprepared
       Em/B             Bm
When I wet my lips with love you'll feel me there
       D/A           C/G
But then I'll run from you 'cause I'm scared


[Instrumental]

Em/B  Bm  D/A  C/G  x2


[Bridge]

     Em/B       Bm         G        C/G
And I've trained myself to run this way I've trained myself to fly
     Em/B        Bm       G       C/G
And I've dragged you all this way without an understanding why
     Em/B     Bm      G          C/G
And I'm holding on to nothing  oh, I know that hurt your pride
        Em/B       Bm       G        C/G
I just thought I could keep you from the loss of having to say goodbye
      Em/B     Bm       G       C/G
But there's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die
    Em/B      Bm      G       C/G
There's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die


[Verse 3]

      Em/B         Bm
Come see my wide eyes, behold my wild mind
      D/A         C/G
I love you, leave you here by my blindside
      Em/B       Bm
But when 14 feet came on a flood tide
         D/A          C/G
I still tried to keep us up, to hold us high

  Em/B           Bm
And I never meant to put you down
     D/A            C/G
But this disaster that came through town
      Em/B       Bm
Rose up the sea and tunnels drowned
        D/A         C/G
My boats broke free and battered you 'round


[Chorus]

     Am          Em
But if you hold me like I'm your girl
      Am           C
I'll still hold you like I'm your girl
  Am           Em
In this the ending of the world
  Am           C
