Verse 5+6: Use Verse 1 chords
I came up from under the ocean
Evaporated sea salt water
A mist above the skyline
I haunt the streets of San Francisco
Watch over loved ones and old friends
I see them trough their living room windows
Shaken by fear and worries
I want them to know how I love them so
Chorus:
Foghorns would sound in waking
Is it my voice you hear?
Footsteps are moving across the floor
And you know I’m here
The afternoon carries up from the hills and you are well and near
To fall into the light I follow
Interlude 3: Em-C-Dm-C-Am  
Final Bridge:
I feel oCh so near, when morning dAmoves appear
And ghosts of CApril ring, echo Fthe refrain
Soon finCding a place, in these lost vFersesG  
They fill the fCoggy day, they hide the hGills away
That steal our tFime, they are the pCicturesque night
The casting cFity lights
                                  C        F  G, then C-F-G5- Fx2
On the bay flowing into the ocean glowing
