Verse 1:
A                      G     D
Full moon rising on an early frost
    A                          G              D
I'm dripping from the rivers I never meant to cross
      A                                      G             D
But I like the things I'm learning more than anything I've lost

Chorus 1:
    A
And oh I have lost
F#        Bm
Oh I have lost
A           G
But not for nothing
A         D
Never for nothing

Verse 2:
       A                G            D
Like a sparrow in Paris perched on a rung
       A                        G           D
To the alleys of London and her underground lungs
    A                      G            D
For copper and bread and a beggars good thumb

Chorus 3:
A
Oh I have sung
F#        Bm
Oh I have sung
A           G
But not for nothing
A         D
Never for nothing

Verse 3:
A                     G          D
Roots and rings are a promise of trees
         A                       G               D
But I'll hold you as dear as the shore holds the sea
        A                    G         D
And for you, pretty baby, my loving is free

Chorus 4:
   A
My loving is free
   F#        Bm
My loving is free
A           G
But not for nothing
A         D
Never for nothing

Coda:
A                      G     D
Full moon rising on an early frost...
