Fadd9 CM7 C FM7 Fadd9 CM7
They travel fast and alone,
C FM7
One hundred foot faces

Of God's good ocean gone wrong
C FM7
What they call love is a risk,
Fadd9 CM7 C FM7
'Cause you will always get hit

By some wave and end up on your own.

Your tongue is a rudder.

Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.

But the wrong words will strand you.
Fadd9 CM7 C FM7
Come off course while you sleep.

Through the sleet and the rain.

This story's old
But it goes on and on
FM7
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
C
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
FM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Am
I know that this is what you want.
D funeral keeps both of us apart.
A7sus2
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
