C Am C

You're lost on a sea that you sailed on

Am C

now its cold and rough where you are

It's a harsh wind blowing

but I did not cause this storm you see

F Am

I've just been here, open-armed

invitingly

C Am

I've been alone on this sea for so long

F Am

I wanted to touch, I had to feel love

C G C

Before these waves took me under

G Am

But Aden you came to me in the dark

in the dark

and as gentle as a siren can be

Am G

I caught you and I held you down

Oh if the pink light of morning

would wash all the demons out of here

F Am

I could lie down on your ground

C G

and pull my body near

C Am

But all the knots in my stomach are telling,

there's no where to rest,

there's no place to go,

C G

and the shadows they keep on

with their shanty song

F Am C G

Am G

It's the darkest horse that's chasing me down

And the gods here have no care

where you go when you drown

F Am C

I've been mistaken for something I'm not

for something I wished I could be

F Am

Pretty and fine,

I'd draw the line

at just singing soothingly

F Am

but I've been a liar

I have been ugly

I can be ugly

F Am C G

F Am C G

F Am

And we'll join the Venture and the Morning Star

C G

Singing haul away my laddie-o...

You're lost on a sea that you sailed on

now its cold and rough
