Your body's Ammoving strange
Left by the waves to sEmink
Your Ammilky skin, your blue    EmveinsG

I Amnever told your mother
CI kept mGy silence
I Emleft you drifting Amto fall off the edge   Cof the horDizon
[Verse 2]
We're Amonly passing through
Keeping on    Emthe move
Surrender to such wAmeathered scenes
Whatever was, whate'er Emwill be

Oh, how we gAmrew entwined
You gave me your name, I Emgave you mineG

[Verse 1]

I stand there silent

Your hair, a halo in the water

Ribbons in the slipstream

Two ships eclipsed in the harbor

[Pre-Chorus]

Your body's moving strange

Left by the waves to sink

Am Em G

Your milky skin, your blue veins

[Chorus]

I never told your mother

C G

I kept my silence

Em Am C D

I left you drifting to fall off the edge of the horizon

[Verse 2]

We're only passing through

Keeping on the move

Surrender to such weathered scenes

Whatever was, whate'er will be

[Pre-Chorus]

Am Em

Don't you keep me here just to have to watch you leave

Oh, how we grew entwined

Em G

You gave me your name, I gave you mine

[Chorus]

I never told your mother

C G

I kept my silence

Em Am C D

I left you drifting to fall off the edge of the horizon

I never told your mother

C G

I kept my silence

Em Am C D

I left you drifting to fall off the edge of the horizon
