[Verse]
Am E Fm Am E Fm
Noise before the dawn lures me up and about
Am E Fm
Padding on bare feet, quiet as a lover's doubt
Am E Fm
All of the railings black against the light
Am E Fm
Early cars cold, and tired eyes
Am E
Workaday, workaday
Fm
Carriages of the night cry by
[Chorus]
Am E Fm
Can you weave me a forgiving sea?
Am E Fm
Sew me a boat to get back to thee?
Am E Fm
Will you build me an honest bridge
Am E Fm
That I may cross when I come to it?
C E Fm
Find me a pair of fool-proof wings
C E Fm
Spin me a story that unwinds and sings
[Bridge]
B7 C E C
oooooh uuuuuhuhooooh ohohooohuhooo
[Verse]
Am E Fm
All of the trials of my good friends
Am E Fm
All of the ways to save and make amends
Am E Fm
Strike me at this hour so clear
Am E Fm
But a thieving sky, she steals me here
Am E Fm
[Chorus]
Can you weave me a forgiving sea?
Am E Fm
Sew me a boat to get back to thee?
Am E Fm
Will you build me an honest bridge
Am E Fm
That I may cross when I come to it?
C E Fm
Find me a pair of fool-proof wings
C E Fm
Spin me a story that unwinds and sings
[Outro]
B7 C E C
oooooh uuuuuhuhooooh ohohooohuhooo
