Play Intro X2

(Play the same chords from the above verses)

i've been watching you look at a locket from your mother
or perhaps its from a girl you don't speak of

do you miss her when your sleeping
do you find it hard to eat when
everything reminds you of her stilly ghost

so to captains of my captain how can i become i captain
get the strength i need to pull this one around

        G5            A5              B5?
i will wait under the tow like lions

        G5            A5              B5?
i will wait under the tow like lions

Listen and you will see what im saying.


oh my god, what am i doing here?

and i walk this ship of golden brown
you sit back covered up sounds
that don't come from my lips
you know they don't come from my lips


and you can try to break the silence
while you making love with violence
to my flesh and blood a traitor
oh my flesh and blood are traitors to you now

Thats all!
