Am C Dm G Am
Dialing in a forgotten voice, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
C Dm G Am
Sweeping through illegal ports, Rising from the depths, falling off the tongue
C Dm G Am
Ships drifting out of tune, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
G Am G Am G Am G
Many, many more, sculpting the shoreline, Etching the harbor and the people
G Am
stayed afloat

Am Dm G Am
Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Am C Dm G Am
Dialing in a forgotten voice, Rising from the depths, falling off the tongue
Am C Dm G Am
Sweeping through illegal ports, Coming in like waves rolling off the coast
Am C Dm G Am
Ships drifting out of tune, Can't stop the waves coming like a ghost
Am G Am G
Is that your shape, in the foam of the sea
Am G Am G
After all these years, coming home to me?

Am Am G Dm Am Am G Dm
La Chascona, hearts to ocean
C C G G
Lying in the bath fully clothed
Dm Am C Dm
Ready for the ocean's wake,
G Am C Dm G Am C Dm G
The tears won't wash away, her eyes can't erase

Am C G G
Am C G G Am C G G Am C G G
Not safe to say, in her native tongue
Am C G G
A radio voice drowning out
Am C G G
The general's song lingering on
Am C G G
A raft made of books from a driftwood house
G Am
Returns to the waves
