The Sailors Song

Bb           Dm
So I have awoken
Gm           Dm
But I feel inside
Bb          Dm
As if the ocean
Gm                              Dm
Could have cried and cried and cried
Cm                 Dm
Remind me how I’m alive


[Verse 2]
Bb                        Dm
Why does the sand beneath me
Gm                Dm
Tell me two were here
    Bb                 Dm
I feel I’ve loved so deeply
       Gm           Dm
Did my memory disappear
    Cm           Dm
A whisper in my ear


[Chorus]
            Gm                  Dm
Why do I feel like I’d give my life
           Cm           Gm
To the siren inside my mind
           Gm             Dm
My sorrow runs so deep that I
    Fm                Gm
Fall to my knees and cry
F   Eb     Gm
Please be alive


[Verse 3]
Bb                 Dm
So I comb the sand for
       Gm          Dm
The remnants of a kiss
Bb                 Dm
That my lips are certain
Gm    Dm
Must exist
Cm             Dm
Did I imagine this
Cm             Dm
Angel from the mist


[Verse 4]
Bb                      Dm
My salty stinging eyes stare
Gm                Dm
Hopelessly out to sea
    Bb               Dm
As I whisper to the ocean
Gm                Dm
If you bring her back to me
Cm                      Dm
I will teach her how to be
Dm
Human


[Chorus]
        Gm                         Dm
Then I swear that out there in the waves
           Cm                       Gm
I see the delicate features of her face
     Gm                      Dm
So I dive straight in to the surf
     Cm                              Gm
And swim to her with everything I’m worth
F   Eb  Gm
Please  breathe


[Bridge]
        F
Take back the breath you gave me
       Eb
And tell my why you saved me
       Gm                           F
And let me teach you how to walk on earth


[Outro]
              Gm              Dm
And then her eyes filled with tears
        Cm                         Gm
As her body became bound to human years
       Gm         Dm
And a song so beautiful
 Cm
Cascaded from her lips
      Dm
Just like a waterfall
         F
If I am yours
             Eb
And you are mine
                      Gm
I think we’ll be just fine
