Tom: Am

Em
Oh young love of mine

    Am                 D
She sleeps beneath the brine

             G                   G/C     G
And oh, the sound, the tick, the weighty click 

       C                B
of her heart against my spine

Em
Now the dark is nigh 

        Am              D
and she lays here at my side

           G                  G/C        G
But like a steady squall, her arms, they fall

        C                   B
and her legs, they grasp me tight


[Refrain]

Em                    D                  G        B
Oh, young love, young dear, why have you taken me in your

C      Am      Bsus4      B
Fall?

Em                        D
All of my love, all of my life

          G      B      C      Am      Bsus4      B
Given to you sacrificed

Em


[Verse 2]

Em
Oh, My waking world

Am                D
I leave you for a girl

     G              C
Cast away into this blight

Am                          B
Swimming blindly through the night

Em
Now my heart is bound

Am                   D
As I plague upon the sound

          G                G/C    G
And oh it slips away, such soft decay

        Bsus4      B
Then it grows, oh, oh, oh,


[Refrain]

Em                    D                  G        B
Oh, young love, young dear, why have you taken me from the

C      Am      Bsus4      B
Fall?

Em                        D
All of my love, all of my life

          G      B      C      Am      Bsus4      B
Given to you, sacrificed


[Bridge]

     C            Em
Stay clear of the wreckage

         G     B     Em
She goes down, down, down

C    Am   Bsus4   B    Em    D

C    Am   Bsus4   B    Em    D

Dm   E7   Dm    E7

        Dm          
And she burns like the sun

         E7
And it all falls away

         Dm
Take your time and I'll take mine

    E7
Here today

       F            G
But it cuts like a knife

          C     C/B         Am        Am/G    F
And we're bound here as the night, it breaks away

      Esus4 E7  Am      A       Am       A
And it all goes down


[Refrain]

Em                    D                  G        B
Oh, young love, young dear, why have you shaken me from the

C      Am      Bsus4      B
Fall?

Em                        D
All of my life, all of my days

          G      B      C      Am      Bsus4      B
Given to you, cast away

Em    D   G   B   C   Am   Bsus4   B

Em                               D
Here's to the war, here's to the night

           G    B      C    Am    Bsus4   B
All of my love, sacrificed


[Ending]

Em       C     G       Em
Soft and kind, cold as ice.

Am       D      Am        Em
Hold yourself beneath the brine.

Em        C     G        Em
Smooth as wine, black as night.

Am       D      Am        Em
Hold yourself beneath the brine.
