Lead Sails And A Paper Anchor

Am  G  F  E


[Verse 1]

Am                G                          F
   Marching along, like a good soldier does,
                       E
I'm setting sail, With anchors holding me down,
Am                 G                             F
   Pack up my bags, stow them away (Stow them away),
                        E
I'm bidding farewell to all that is safe,


[Chorus]

       F                G
Will I come up for air? come up for air,
Dm                Am
After a while the current is calling me,
E                  Am
Lulling me, waving goodbye,
Dm                     Am                 E
I'm out here alone, oh God can you save me now?

Sinking, my heart turns to stone,


[Instrumental]

Am  G  F  E


[Verse 2]

Am                G                         F
   Withering away, a shrinking violet dies,
                       E
So full of life, these lights have dried me out,
Am              G                  F
   Into the sea, I needed a drink,
                              E
I never thought this would consume me whole,


[Chorus]

       F                G
Will I come up for air? come up for air,
Dm                Am
After a while the current is calling me,
E                  Am
Lulling me, waving goodbye,
Dm                     Am                 E
I'm out here alone, oh God can you save me now? (Save me now)
                           F
Sinking, my heart turns to stone (Turns to stone, turns to stone),
                           C
Sinking, my heart turns to stone


[Bridge]

C                Em
Save me, take me home,
                  C
Over and over again,
                 Em
Save me, take me home,
                             C
Wishing that this all would end,

C                Em
Save me, take me home,
                  C
Over and over again,
                 Em
Save me, take me home,
                               Dm
Wishing that this all would end,


[Chorus]

Dm                Am
After a while the current is calling me,
E                  Am
Lulling me, waving goodbye,
Dm                     Am                 E
I'm out here alone, oh God can you save me now? (Save me now)
                          Dm
Sinking my heart turns to
                  Am
After a while the current is calling me,
E                  Am
Lulling me, waving goodbye,
Dm                     Am                 E
I'm out here alone, oh God can you save me now? (Save me now)
                           F
Sinking, my heart turns to stone (Turns to stone, turns to stone),

Sinking, my heart turns to


[Outro]

C                Em
Save me, take me home,

(Will I come up for air? Will I come up for air?)
C                Em
Save me, take me home,

(Will I come up for air? Will I come up for air?)
C                Em
Save me, take me home,
                  C
Over and over again,
                 Em
Save me, take me home,
                             Am
Wishing that this all would end
