[Intro]
Dm Bb F
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb F Dm
Keeping bright eyes focused on the coastline waiting for you.
Bb F
Isn't she all us pining for that last kiss of permanent truth?
Dm
a means to get through.
Dm
Maybe we'll cry whilst hopeful when we
Bb C Dm
think about the past being cruel...
Dm
We got a thought for those who start to
Bb
think of love as the pursuit of a fool,
F Bb F Gm Dm
it's a palace from ruin.
Dm
Deep into the night eyes closed
Bb F Dm
and heart swolen with my loving for you, Solid embrace,
Bb F Dm
kind face and then the hurt starts leaving the room, followed by ghouls
Dm
Sometimes it's open wide and lights, a road,
Bb F C Dm
at night you've got a heart like the moon
Dm
Gather courage if you're doing something,
Bb F
do it, cause she got to go soon
[Chorus]
F Dm
If I could now,
F
I'd never tell you not to love her
F
However, leaving her alone,
Bb
away from her home
C Dm
That ain't no promise cracking over time
F
A private corner of Roma, don't shadow the light,
Bb
wait, good love grown
F Bb
If I could now... If I could now...
C Dm Bb
If I could now... If I could now...
Dm
If I had you now
[Instrumental]
Bb C Dm Bb F
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb F
So keep the bright eyes focused on the coastline waiting for you,
Dm
don't give me that "bye bye baby"
Bb F
when the night moves into black from the blue,
Dm
the next you've been through.
Dm
Just give me that wide smile,
Bb F C Dm
made from pouring song into hearts of the doom
Bb
You catch the cold heart staring at water,
F
remember you flew
[Chorus]
C Dm C
If I could now, I'd never tell you not to love her,
F Dm Bb
however leaving her alone, away from her home
C Dm
That ain't no promise cracking over time
F
A private corner of Roma,
C F G C Bb
don't shadow the light, wait, good love grown
C Dm F Bb
If I could now... If I could now...
C Dm C Bb
If I could now... If I could now...

[Outro]
F
So say what you want, dear,
Bb
but The courage was one,
F
with the way that you spoke,
Bb
here, when the dreaming was done.
