G                    Em7               C
I’ve been finding it hard to say how I feel, as of late
G                     Em7                           C       C
There’s a depth to my fatigue, it’s getting hard to explain
G                    Em                          C          C
There’s a dirt on my skin and it doesn’t seem to wash off

Set sail or call to port, this wind’s tying round my neck in knots

Am7                  Dm7          G             C
   And I won’t stand by you when you’re smoking cigarettes
      Am7                                    G           C    C
Oh I adore your warmth in my lungs, not that pain in my chest
  Am7                                             C
I feel like a man gone blind in the warmth of the sun, so

Teach me braille I can learn to map your body like the stars above

Chorus:
 Em7                                          C
‘Cause I didn’t know how to say that I needed help
C                                          Em7
And I wasn’t very good at looking after my health
Em7                               C
Tell me, tell me, are we going to stay here (love, no)
 Em7                                          C
‘Cause I didn’t know how to say that I needed help

C                                          Em
And I wasn’t very good at looking after myself
                      D                C              C
Tell me, tell me, are we going to stay here (love, no)
G                            C
If you want me to leave just say I’ve got to go
G                           C                            G
If you want me to stay then love don’t be shy invite me home

Verse 2:
G                                                       Em       C
And the river flows better when the nets aren’t filling up with stones
         G                                                           Em   C
Like the sea there ain't a day in recent years that I’m not tired anymore
G                                               Em     C
There’s a man in the mirror, but no king to the throne
             G     N.C.                                             Em    C
And you're a queen with a sweetness like the morning lights on the fjords

Am
So tell me how are we going to change
         C
When you want to stay put
                              Am
And I’m always away and I can hear
                                             C
The change in my voice on the phone breaking up
N.C.                         D      N.C
Pieces of the styrofoam from places where the tide’s been low


Chorus:
Em7               Em                            C

Em                                 C
Tell me, tell me, are we going to stay here (love, no)
 Em                                           C
‘Cause I didn’t know how to say that I needed help

C                                         Em

   G   N.C.                  C   N.C.
If you want me to leave just say I’ve got to go
       G                     C                          G
If you want me to stay then love don’t be shy invite me home
