A D2
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
Em7(11) D2 A
With a flame and a book of signs.
D2
You'll never know how hard I've failed
Em7(11) D2 A
Trying to make up for lost time.
A D2
Once I believed in things unseen
Em7(11) A
I was blinded by the dark.
D2
Out of the multitude to me
Em7(11) D2 A
He came and broke my heart.
Em7(11) D2 A
When the dust in the field has flown,
Em7(11) D2 A
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
Em7(11) D2
And you doubt you will ever be free,

A D2
River is wide and oh so deep
Em7(11) D2 A
And it winds and winds around.
D2
I dream we're happy in my sleep
Em7(11) D2 A
Floating down and down and down.
D2 A
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
Em7(11) D2 A
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
Em7(11)
And we're waiting for someone to see,
Riff1 Riff1
A D2
Tell ma I loved the man
Em7(11) D2 A
Even though I turned and ran.
D2
Lovely and fine I could have been
Em7(11) D2 A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em7(11) D2 A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em7(11) D2 A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em7(11) D2 A
Staying down in the palm of his hand.
Em7(11) D2 A
In the morning you wait for the sun,
D2 Em7(11) A
And secretly hope it won't come,
D2 Em7(11) D2
But time washes everyone clean,
