Make Do And Mend


Tom: G#m

          G#m
Tonight I set out
                                             E
On a journey from behind your ears and your neck down
           F#
Along the sharp curves of your spine.
            G#m
I hear you whispering
                                            E
Like a seashell that is trying to keep the ocean in, 
               F#
Tucked in the sand dunes of your skin.

[Chorus]

G#m            B                E        C#m            G#m
But no matter how hard that we beg, the miles take you away, 
             B               E       C#m
And there's nothing that we can say.
G#m            B         E            C#m           G#m
You're leaving me and I realize this, hell has an address
         B               C#m       G#m
And I'm standing on its doorstep.

[Interlude]

G#m E (x2)

[Verse]

G#m
And later on I ignore the calls
         E                                 
While I watch the shapes our shadows take dancing on the walls.
G#m                                                               E
I'm here with you, and you are here with me, and nothing can go wrong, 
E
At least until the morning comes.
G#m
But I can almost see the sunlight through the window, 
E                           F#
And I can almost taste the warm tears in your eyes, 
G#m
So I wrap my arms around your waist and pull you close to say, 
E                 F#
"Endlessly, you belong with me."

[Chorus]

G#m            B                E        C#m            G#m
But no matter how hard that we beg, the miles take you away, 
             B               E       C#m
And there's nothing that we can say.
G#m            B         E            C#m           G#m
You're leaving me and I realize this, hell has an address
         B               C#m       G#m
And I'm standing on its doorstep.

[Interlude]

G#m E (x8)

[Bridge]

E                              F#  G#m
(Whoa) there's no pain I won't endure
                               C#m
To keep my fingers locked in yours; 
                             E
No distance I won't go. Goodbye Sky Harbor. Over, out, alone.
