[Verse 1]
                   Emaj7                   C#7sus2
I still hear her voice, as close as my arms could reach
                 B                         F#
Retrace the thought of her touch,  the ground which I’m on is weak,
Emaj7                        C#7sus2
        and caves like I want to
                       B                        F#
Before she stepped right up to me,  pulls my head from a dream I’m free

[Instrumental]
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#

[Verse 2]
                        Emaj7                     C#7sus2
She floats with the breeze,     I feed on her energy
                 B                            F#
Until it gets torn at the seams, drifting fur---ther apart from me,
Emaj7                    C#7sus2
       and dips back into the sea.
                     B                           F#                          N.C.
I’ll wait with my fears hanging out,   I’m in lo---ve with you now it seems

[Instrumental]
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#*

[Verse 3]
Emaj7
       She holds shit down for the meantime,
C#7sus2
       She’ll ease my mind when it folds
B
       I’m way too young to be up tight,
F#
       and far too high to be low.
Emaj7
       I feel her breath by the sea side,
C#7sus2
       It breaks cold spells when it blows
B
       I’ll sit here for a long night,
F#  N.C.
       tell me girl do you still sleep alone?

[Verse 4]
Emaj7
       Because if time flies I’ll be coming,
C#7sus2
       will she hear the knock on the door?
B
       The news spread quick from the corners
   F#
I love her she tells I forget that she knows
Emaj7
       So she sits straight through the winter,
C#7sus2
       I’ll wash up a mess on her shore
B
       She’ll patch up the chip on my shoulder
    F#
And I’ll be done for

[Instrumental]
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#

[Verse 5]
Emaj7                    C#7sus2
       Goldfish, go fish          take my blues and forget
B                                   F#
       the distance, between your ho---me and my hand you hold
Emaj7                    C#7sus2
       Goldfish, go fish          I’ll stand straight but I wish
B                               F#
       that she’d slip, into my ar---ms but she had to go home

[Instrumental]
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#

[Outro]
Emaj7           C#7sus2        B               F#
