(D)                        (G)           (D)
I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above.
                          (A7sus4)
I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again.
(D)                             (G)
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.
(D)                          (A7sus4)
If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.
BIf you were here Aonce, you were here a hundred Btimes.
OhhhhhhA  
DBest as a wishing star, I Gsaw you better far Daway,
and I felt obligation, and A7sus4heard your voice again.
DHear the rush of water, Gpassing over the Dshoals.
Hear my heartbeat rather, if A7sus4I reached out tonight.
BIf I reach out Atonight and find I can't Bfight it,
and look to the Astars, and wander towards a
Dheartfelt obligation, a Gplace that you called Dhome
and heard your voice A7sus4again, but it's too late.
DYou left long ago, and now you're Gprobably dead and gone,
and DI'm left here with the A7sus4water and the shoals and a Btainted obliAgation.
BOhhhhhhA  
D  G  D  A7sus4
D  G  D  A7sus4
BTainted obliAgations
BTainted obliAgations
BOhhhhhhA  
BOhhhhhhA
