G


Verse 1:

G
Made a good run but I've run too far

G
Fought the battle of jalopy in this beat-up car

        C/G                                                  G
But I'm drawn to you honey like the sea to the fisherman's daughter

            D                 Em
It's just a short walk on the water

Verse 2:

       G
If you find yourself alone, if you run out of road

If you get the way it gets when lightning strikes and then goes

C/G                                                 G
I'll be around, it don't matter what the others offer

It's just a short walk on the water

       C/G
I'm in love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear

You're standing over there and I'm standing right here

The choice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wanna'

You and I've been lovers, honey, you and I are friends

Been that way forever since I can't remember when

C/G                                                 G
Everything happens for a reason or at least, it oughta

It's just a short walk on the water

You're standing over there and I'm standing right here

         G                                                   C/G
With the storm in your hair and the salt in your eyes in the cyclone

        G                                                     C/G
And the cap of each wave like the first day that you fell in love

     G                                                 C/G
And you're in between nothing but the thin air and the unknown

     G                                       C/G
On a night when enough couldn't possibly be enough


Verse 4:

 G
Everything is changing now, times are strange

    G
You know me honey like you now my name

   C/G                                         G
My heart is a silver fish on the line of your laughter

            D                 Em
It's just a short walk on the water


Chorus:

       C/G
I'm in love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear

       G
You're standing over there and I'm standing right here

The choice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wanna
