Ben Howard (born 24 April 1987) is an English singer-songwriter, born in London. He moved to Totnes, Devon, in his teens. Howard's musically-inclined parents exposed him at a young age to their favourite records from singer-songwriter artists such as Bob Dylan, Nina Simone and John Martyn. Howard began writing his own songs and after a short spell studying journalism, he decided in 2009 at the age of 21 to become a full-time musician.

[Verse 1] C/AC To care, or not to care C/A To be there C In the distant and uncertain C/A To be aware C In an old Iberian hotel room C/A That the devil C Is not behind the curtain C/A She said walk in small steps C And fear floating C/A We made a pact C A certain approaching C/A Leaned on the sky C The smoking cigarette C/A Said it's late C You should be going C/A The wind is howling C The house is showing
[Chorus 1] C Boat to an island on the wall C Hand striking in slow motion C Future singing in the field C Shooting season's open
[Verse 2] C To care, or not care C/A To be aware C In your absence an angel chose this for you
[Bridge] C/A You're supposed to laugh C Tell your fortune to the sailor C/A This is the black mountain pass C These hours the sun shines to moonlight, black
[Chorus 2] CG Boat to an island on the wall CG A hand striking in slow motion C/AG Future singing in the field C/AG Shooting season's open C/AG Boat to an island on the wall C/AG A hand striking in slow motion C/AG Lied too bad, too long CG Shooting season's open
