G+G C majorC D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
Intro: Begin by strumming just the top strings holding down the G+G chord
Then play: C majorC D MajorD
C majorC D MajorD
C majorC G+G D MajorD
C majorC
And so to be one to lie to the captain
D MajorD
Sure I'm coming back
C majorC
But I walk along and meet up a tree line
D MajorD
Cover up at last
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
And they're raging at the beach for some light
G+G C majorC D MajorD
But like the birds I was given all this time
C majorC
And to stop believing in the returning
D MajorD
I went on
C majorC
So vaguely I still hear the bands but not
D MajorD
What's going on
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
I guess they're raging at the beach for some light
G+G C majorC D MajorD
But like the birds they're forgiven every time
A minorAm D MajorD
But then I know that I'm a stranger in this land
G+G C majorC
And I wake you up by speaking what you cannot understand, no
A minorAm D MajorD
All I said was there were mountains in my way
G+G
But they're slowly disappearing
C majorC A minorAm
And I balance when I feel you to my skin
D MajorD (let it ring out) C majorC
In times like these even travelers can win
Break: C majorC D MajorD
C majorC D MajorD
C majorC
To be high in trees when they walk
D MajorD
Just forth and back and out
C majorC
And the vessel's gone and I will stay to
D MajorD
Figure this one out
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
I bet they're raging in the seas for some light
G+G C majorC D MajorD
And like all birds they're given all this time
A minorAm D MajorD
And now I hold on fall is greeting me to stay
G+G C majorC
And we slow dance in the kitchen and I dream the days away, oh
A minorAm D MajorD
And just like Lucinda's you are right on time
G+G
There are louder cities somewhere
C majorC A minorAm
But I don't think I'll be back where ringing stays
D MajorD (let it ring) C majorC
In a place like this I should never feel afraid
Break: C majorC D MajorD
C majorC D MajorD
(single strums)
G+G C majorC G+G
Get around
C majorC G+G D MajorD
This is handsome life
G+G C majorC G+G
I guess my rhythm grew
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Through my darker time, oh
C majorC D MajorD
I was not the killer I was one just setting sail
C majorC
With the fear of sideway winds just turning
D MajorD
Downward with the hail
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
Oh, I was raging in the field for some light
G+G C majorC D MajorD
But like the birds I was forgiven with this time
Break: C majorC D MajorD
C majorC D MajorD
A minorAm D MajorD
In this sunlight I just can't believe your face
G+G
We're some laundry line believers
C majorC
We're just kids in many ways, oh
A minorAm D MajorD
And you smell like smoke and honey in my arms
G+G C majorC A minorAm
I'm somewhere in some falling and I'm learning of your language for to say
D MajorD (let it ring) C majorC
In times like these I should never grow away
Outro: C majorC D MajorD
C majorC D MajorD
G+G C majorC
