[Verse 1]
I still hear her voEmaj7ice, as close as my arms C#7sus2could reach
Retrace the thougBht of her touch,  the grouF#nd which I’m on is weak,
        Emaj7and caves like I want C#7sus2to
Before she stepped righBt up to me,  pulls my heaF#d from a dream I’m free

[Verse 2]
She floats with the breeEmaj7ze,     I feed on her enerC#7sus2gy
Until it gets torBn at the seams, drifting fur-F#--ther apart from me,
       Emaj7and dips back into C#7sus2the sea.

       Emaj7I feel her breath by the sea side,
       C#7sus2It breaks cold spells when it blows
       BI’ll sit here for a long night,

       tell me girl do you still sleep alone?
[Verse 4]
       Emaj7Because if time flies I’ll be coming,
       C#7sus2will she hear the knock on the door?
       BThe news spread quick from the corners
I lF#ove her she tells I forget that she knows
       Emaj7So she sits straight through the winter,
       C#7sus2I’ll wash up a mess on her shore
       BShe’ll patch up the chip on my shoulder
And F#I’ll be done for

She’ll patch up the chip on my shoulder

And I’ll be done for
