D G
Where did you leave your baby
D
Bleeding in her bed
G
Her ghost has come to stay
E G
Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away

With our broken wings

Like clocks without their springs
E G
Just like time doesn't mean anything
[Chorus]

You know that I can't stay

Yea - e - aaah

But I'll be wide awake

A surfer in the break

Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave
And a place in the shade
