No capo
C C (Bb)
The space between your fingers
C C Bb
The lack of water burns
C C (Bb)
The fear in you that lingers
C C Bb
Stalking all whom it concerns
C (Bb)
The tempest's howling chorus
C Bb
Sings the days we never took
C (Bb)
As they come dying all before us
C C Bb
The closing of a book
D E
I turn the other cheek
F#m
I'm dropping, I am one
D E
Into the hands of nameless lands
F#m
To which you cannot run
D E
Oh, But the ocean is your voice
F#m
It whispers, "Half of me has fled"
D E
And now you're screaming bloody murder
F#m
Breaking promises and bread
D E
And now you're screaming bloody murder
F#m
Breaking promises and bread
C (Bb)
Your words now crossing worldly borders
C Bb
Strip my covered ears
The only thought that comforts
Is the hope in future years
That maybe you'll arrive here
With a heart and mind subdued
And maybe we'll remember then
The life that we pursued
>>>Chorus>>>>>
D E
The tide sweeps you away
F#m
But no further can you be
D E
One night's sleep through winter
F#m
Time is nothing more to me
D E
Oh, And the ocean is your voice
F#m
It's howling, "Half my life is dead" (song has an echo)
D E
And it is screaming bloody murder (softer here)
F#m
Breaking promises and bread
D E
And I am screaming bloody murder
F#m
Breaking promises and bread
Repeat chorus pattern fading, end on F#m
