[Chords] 
[Intro]
Gm D
[Verse]
GmDance with me my darling, 
for the suAbmmer clock does grind 
And the Gmhands are getting stronger, 
squeezing Aharder every tDime
GmWe can get so close we feel the flames 
Cmbut we can't quite see the fire 
Gmsetting blaze Cto the pyDre
And now there's bGmlood on my kerchief, 
Well I tAbhink my moment's come,
Cuz the Gmpast and the future,
Are both blAurring into oDne.
GmThere's a girl's voice on the telephone telling' me that 
Cmeverything will be fine, 
Gmbut all I'm picking Cmup is Dstatic on the line
[Bridge]
CSoak the heCmart in bGrine
CShoot it with sEbalt and lDime
[Chorus]
Cuz until the neBbxt time, I'll be somewhere swimming in the bDmarley wine
Fightin' all the waves until I Ebmwash ashore again uCnderneath all the pFines
Where we watched our gBbarden grow dreams so big only tDmhoughts could go
Coins so small they were Ebmnever thrown into the sea like wCishes from the 
hands of poor boys just like me
Gm A D
[Verse]
GmI pay taxes on distance, 
and there's a Abfee for helplessness
RetributGmion for nights spent 
on the Adrunk side of the fDence
I'll Gmgather what's left and split it in two 
and place Cmwagers with each of my pence
GmOne coin on Cmguilty, 
the otDher on innocence
[Bridge]
CSoak the hCmeart in Gbrine...
CShoot it with Ebsalt and lDime
[Chorus]
Cuz until the Bbnext time, I'll be somewhere swimming in the Dmbarley wine
Fightin' all the waves until I Ebmwash ashore again Cunderneath all the Fpines
Where we watched our Bbgarden grow dreams so big only tDmhoughts could go
Coins so small they were Ebmnever thrown into the sea like Cwishes from the 
hands of poor boys just like me
G A D
[Instrumental]
Eb C G Eb C D
So jump in the Bbbarley wine, dive to the bottom and cDmlose your eyes
We'll float forever like dEbreams that were cast to the sea, all at the Ccost of a Fdime
And impBbossible is nothing when you have a Dmdream to hold
We found our dreams in a Ebglorious, ever-loving, Cbottomless pot of gFold
D Cm Bb

[Chords]

[Intro]

Gm D

[Verse]

Dance with me my darling,

for the summer clock does grind

And the hands are getting stronger,

A D

squeezing harder every time

We can get so close we feel the flames

but we can't quite see the fire

Gm C D

setting blaze to the pyre

And now there's blood on my kerchief,

Well I think my moment's come,

Cuz the past and the future,

A D

Are both blurring into one.

There's a girl's voice on the telephone telling' me that

everything will be fine,

Gm Cm D

but all I'm picking up is static on the line

[Bridge]

C Cm G

Soak the heart in brine

C Eb D

Shoot it with salt and lime

[Chorus]

Bb Dm

Cuz until the next time, I'll be somewhere swimming in the barley wine

Ebm C F

Fightin' all the waves until I wash ashore again underneath all the pines

Bb Dm

Where we watched our garden grow dreams so big only thoughts could go

Ebm C

Coins so small they were never thrown into the sea like wishes from the

hands of poor boys just like me

Gm A D

[Verse]

I pay taxes on distance,

and there's a fee for helplessness

Retribution for nights spent

A D

on the drunk side of the fence

I'll gather what's left and split it in two

and place wagers with each of my pence

Gm Cm

One coin on guilty,

the other on innocence

[Bridge]

C Cm G

Soak the heart in brine...

C Eb D

Shoot it with salt and lime

[Chorus]

Bb Dm

Cuz until the next time, I'll be somewhere swimming in the barley wine

Ebm C F

Fightin' all the waves until I wash ashore again underneath all the pines

Bb Dm

Where we watched our garden grow dreams so big only thoughts could go

Ebm C

Coins so small they were never thrown into the sea like wishes from the

hands of poor boys just like me

G A D

[Instrumental]

Eb C G Eb C D

Bb Dm

So jump in the barley wine, dive to the bottom and close your eyes

Eb C F

We'll float forever like dreams that were cast to the sea, all at the cost of a dime

Bb Dm

And impossible is nothing when you have a dream to hold

Eb C F

We found our dreams in a glorious, ever-loving, bottomless pot of gold

D Cm Bb
