[Intro]
Begin by strumming just the top strings holding down the G chord
[Then play]
C D
C D
C G D
C
And so to be one to lie to the captain
D
Sure I'm coming back
C
But I walk along and meet up a tree line
D
Cover up at last
Am G D
And they're raging at the beach for some light
G C D
But like the birds I was given all this time
C
And to stop believing in the returning
D
I went on
C
So vaguely I still hear the bands but not
D
What's going on
Am G D
I guess they're raging at the beach for some light
G C D
But like the birds they're forgiven every time
Am D
But then I know that I'm a stranger in this land
G C
And I wake you up by speaking what you cannot understand, no
Am D
All I said was there were mountains in my way
G
But they're slowly disappearing
C Am
And I balance when I feel you to my skin
D (let it ring out) C
In times like these even travelers can win
[Break]
C D
C D
C
To be high in trees when they walk
D
Just forth and back and out
C
And the vessel's gone and I will stay to
D
Figure this one out
Am G D
I bet they're raging in the seas for some light
G C D
And like all birds they're given all this time
Am D
And now I hold on fall is greeting me to stay
G C
And we slow dance in the kitchen and I dream the days away, oh
Am D
And just like Lucinda's you are right on time
G
There are louder cities somewhere
C Am
But I don't think I'll be back where ringing stays
D (let it ring) C
In a place like this I should never feel afraid
[Break]
C D
C D
(single strums)
G C G
Get around
C G D
This is handsome life
G C G
I guess my rhythm grew
C G D
Through my darker time, oh
C D
I was not the killer I was one just setting sail
C
With the fear of sideway winds just turning
D
Downward with the hail
Am G D
Oh, I was raging in the field for some light
G C D
But like the birds I was forgiven with this time
[Break]
C D
C D
Am D
In this sunlight I just can't believe your face
G
We're some laundry line believers
C
We're just kids in many ways, oh
Am D
And you smell like smoke and honey in my arms
G C Am
I'm somewhere in some falling and I'm learning of your language for to say
D (let it ring) C
In times like these I should never grow away
[Outro]

G C
end on D
