[Intro]
Em C G
Em C G
Am C G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Shaking off the shadows, running from the cold
G D
Waters churn and beckon at my door
G Em C G
Tainted streams are flowing where the transom used to be
D C G
Take me down with the vessel when you go
[Chorus]
D C G
Fortune fades, you’re reaching for the light
D C G
Brighter days are falling far behind
Em D C G
When your hole is dug so deep and it’s so dark you can’t see
D C G
The winds will always bring you home to me
Em C G
Em C G
Am C G
[Verse 2]
G C G
Concrete and the pilings driving deep beneath the sea
G D
Amongst the rising waves and finer things
G Em C G
Heavens to Betsy, to be a pearl upon a string
D C G
Resting on your shoulder eternally
[Chorus]
D C G
Fortune fades, you’re reaching for the light
G D C G
Brighter days are falling far behind
G Em D C G
When your hole is dug so deep and it’s so dark you can’t see
D C G
The winds will always bring you home to me
[Bridge]
Am C G D
No time for winding down, where I wind up is on my mind
Am C G
Surely there’s more silver sides to see
Am C G D
No time to count the miles, counting them up just brings me down
Am C G
Looks like we’ve been leaking gasoline
[Chorus]
D C G
Fortune fades, you’re reaching for the light
G D C G
Brighter days are falling far behind
G Em D C G
When your hole is dug so deep and it’s so dark you can’t see
D C G
The winds will always bring you home to me
G Em D C G
When your hole is dug so deep and it’s so dark you can’t see
D C G
The winds will always bring you home to me
[Outro]
Em C G
Em C G
Am C G
