Tom: G
G C G C G
[Verse 1]
G C G
I swear that you swore that we always’d be together
C G
Sail this bamboo boat through the stormiest weather
C G G/F# C
I always thought that if you felt the need to jump this ship and swim
Em D C
That I’d be on the shore waving you in
G C G
You’ve got big decisions to make
C G
I got nothing left to give and there’s nothing more to take
C G G/F# C
You can put your car in drive and point your compass west
Em D C
I’ll stay here with a cavern in my chest.
[Chorus]
D Em C
Did you expect to leave so sweet
D Em C
With just the pitter patter of your little feet
D Em C
Not the loudest bombs I ever heard
Am Am/B C
Exploding in my chest
Am Am/B C
Scaring all the birds
[Verse 2]
G C G
You said when get you back you'll come straight on home to me
C G
I don’t know where home is ‘cuz I don’t know where I’ll be
C G G/F# C
If war comes and I’m all alone, I’ll sit and gently weep
Em D C
You’re not there to rock me back to sleep
G C G
So whisper in my ear before you go
C G
Whisper one more time, this is something I need to know
C G G/F# C
And I’ll give pages of calendar do softly hit the floor
Em D C
And leave the light on outside of my door
Em D C
Wait to hear your shitty car pull up
Em D C
Hear your tiny feet upon my step
[Chorus]
D Em C
Did you expect to leave so sweet
D Em C
With just the pitter patter of your little feet
D Em C
Not the loudest bombs I ever heard
Am Am/B C
Exploding in my chest
Am Am/B C
Scaring all the birds
C with the hammerons on the D string
Am Am/B C
Exploding in my chest
Am Am/B C
Scaring all the birds
