[Verse 1]
Bb
The sea was large today
Dm
Just as any other day
Bb
But something broke in me
Dm
Watching on this winter’s eve
[Verse 2]
Bb
Like a voice,
F
that I’d been trying to hide
Bb
Pulled me close
F
And out into the undertow
[Bridge]
Gm
I can’t beat it
F
Oh! The sirens sing me home
Gm
Just can’t release it
F
I didn’t have the strength to go
[Verse 1]
Bb
She’s a garden rose
Dm
and blossoms head to toe
Bb
And even when she leaves
Dm
her golden shadow stings
[Bridge]
Gm
I can’t beat it
F
Every time she goes,
Gm
cuts me even deeper
F
If only I’d the strength to go
Like she does
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
But she’s got time on her side
Dm F
And she’s free to decide
Eb Bb
Because she’s got time on her side
Dm F
To be young is divine
[Verse 2]
Bb
And scaling the dunes to sea
F
Where the white wall feeds
Bb
Gets me no closer to peace
F
From the grips that she holds on me
[Bridge]
Gm
Oh! I can’t beat it
F
Every time she goes
Gm
Cuts a lil deeper
F
So the wound will never close
[Bridge]
Gm
If only I could beat it
F
She wouldn’t look away for woe
Gm
But it finds me when I’m sleeping
F
And wakes me in a fevered low
Like she does
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
But she’s got time on her side
Dm F
And she’s free to decide
Eb Bb
Because she’s got time on her side
Dm F
She’s so free, it’s sublime
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I just wonder if I’m on her mind
Dm F
As she’s on mine, all the time
Eb Bb
And I want her to know that I’m on her side
Dm F
I’m on her side
[Outro]
Bb
The sea was large today
Dm Bb
Just as any other day
