[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
