Verse 1:

  G                                       C
I know a way to kill the ripple from your touch
    G                             C
And what if I can only settle for much?
   D          Em7
It stays with you
       D      G      C
You’re like a sky so drizzly

That I want
D Em7 D G C
  ‘Till I take it out on you
Bm7      Bm    C
Show me how to keep you in



Chorus:

G
You be good to me
       D       C
And I, I’ll be good to you
                     D
Don’t let go of your light
          Bm
It’s your best friend in the world
  C                      A7
I hope you’ll learn what Heaven knows
    C
Who cares if I go?

G

Verse 2:

  G                                      C
I know a way to tell the middle from the start
    G                                       C
And what if telling makes the brittle fall apart?
   D      Em7       D          G        C
In time although my hair turns grey and grizzly
     D
Stay with me



Chorus:

G
So we cursed a lot
         D         C
And I’m ashamed of walking out
                 D           Bm
Oh it’s just too bad, we got stuck in the past
      C               A7
We’re hiding there in silence now
   C
It sounds familiar
G
You be good to me
       D       C
And I, I’ll be good to you
           D
I’m off to work
Bm                  C
But I don’t see you turn

          D#maj7        Gmaj7
Cross the river on your own
       Gm7
On the other side
             Gm
You wanna go far away
       Gmaj7
On the other side

The riverbed

Follow us there



Chorus:

G
You be good to me
       D       C
And I, I’ll be good to you

It’s your best friend in the world

G
So we cursed a lot
         D         C
And I’m ashamed of walking out
                    D              Bm
And my thoughts are wrought with a shortsighted secret
    C
And missing you
A7                    C
Why do you cry, Paddy?



Outro:

G
Long as I’ve been alive

Old as I am
     D        C
I’ve still no plan
           D
I’m off to work
Bm                  C
But I don’t see you turn
A7
My life was OK
      C
I was counting my steps
