[Intro]
Dm Bb F
[Verse 1]
Dm                                 Bb                       F Dm
Keeping bright eyes focused on the coastline waiting for you.
                                 Bb                     F
Isn't she all us pining for that last kiss of permanent truth?
                       Dm
a means to get through.
Dm
Maybe we'll cry whilst hopeful when we 
Bb                             C Dm
think about the past being cruel...
Dm
We got a thought for those who start to 
         Bb
think of love as the pursuit of a fool,
       F           Bb  F Gm Dm
it's a palace from ruin.
Dm
Deep into the night eyes closed 
          Bb                        F  Dm
and heart swolen with my loving for you,  Solid embrace,
                       Bb                      F                 Dm
kind face and then the hurt starts leaving the room, followed by ghouls
Dm
Sometimes it's open wide and lights, a road,
   Bb                                F  C Dm
at night you've got a heart like the moon
Dm
Gather courage if you're doing something,
Bb                         F
do it, cause she got to go soon
[Chorus]
F          Dm
If I could now,
                           F
I'd never tell you not to love her
F
However, leaving her alone,
              Bb
away from her home
                               C    Dm
That ain't no promise cracking over time
                    F
A private corner of Roma, don't shadow the light,
                Bb
wait, good love grown
           F                 Bb
If I could now... If I could now... 
   C       Dm                Bb
If I could now... If I could now...
             Dm
If I had you now

Dm                                     Bb                    F
So keep the bright eyes focused on the coastline waiting for you,
Dm
don't give me that "bye bye baby" 
         Bb                              F
when the night moves into black from the blue,
                     Dm
the next you've been through.
Dm
Just give me that wide smile,
                  Bb                      F  C Dm
made from pouring song into hearts of the doom
                                    Bb
You catch the cold heart staring at water,
             F
remember you flew
[Chorus]
C          Dm                             C
If I could now, I'd never tell you not to love her, 
                    F           Dm       Bb
however leaving her alone, away from her home
                               C    Dm
That ain't no promise cracking over time
                    F
A private corner of Roma,
C                F            G    C    Bb
don't shadow the light, wait, good love grown
C          Dm     F          Bb
If I could now... If I could now... 
C          Dm     C          Bb
If I could now... If I could now...
[Interlude]
Bb   F        C   Bb   F         C
Woo, oo, Woo, oo, Woo, woo, Woo, oo,
Bb   F        C   Bb   F   Bb   F
Woo, oo, Woo, oo, Woo, oo, Woo, oo,
[Chorus]
           Dm                             C
If i could now, I'd never tell you not to love her,

don't shadow the light, wait, good love grown
[Outro]
                F
So say what you want, dear,
                    Bb
but The courage was one,
                      F
with the way that you spoke, 
                            Bb
here, when the dreaming was done.
