Key of F.
[Verse 1]
F G Am G
Wait a minute, baby.
Stay with me awhile.
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire.
[Chorus 1]
F Dm
Drowning in the sea of love
Bbdim5 C
Where everyone would love to drown.
F
But now its gone.
Dm
It doesn't matter what for.
Bbdim5
When you build your house,
C
Then call me home.
[Instrumental]
Am G
[Verse 2]
F
And he was just like a great dark wing
G
Within the wings of a storm.
Am
I think I had met my match.
G F
He was singing and undoing.
G
And undoing.
F
Ooh, the laces.
G
Undoing the laces.
[Bridge]
F Dm Bbdim5 C
Ooh. Ooh.
[Chorus 2]
F
Said Sara.
Dm
You're the poet in my heart
Bbdim5
Never change.
C
Never stop.
F
But now it's gone.
Dm
It doesn't matter what for.
Bbdim5 C
But when you build your house, you better call me home.
[Instrumental]
F G
[Verse 3]
F
Hold on. The night is coming.
G
And the starling flew for days.
F
I'd stay home at night all the time.
G
I'd go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere.
F
Ask me and I'm there. Yeah.
G
Ask me and I'm there, 'cause I care.
[Chorus 1]
F Dm
In the sea o' love
Bbdim5 C
Where everyone would love to drown.
F
But now it's gone.
Dm
They say it doesn't matter anymore.
Bbdim5
If you build your house,
C
Then please call me, call!
[Chorus 2]
F Dm
Sara, you're the poet in my heart.
Bbdim5
Never change,
C
And don't you ever stop.
[Outro]
F
Well, now it's gone.
Dm
No, it doesn't matter anymore.
Bbdim5
When you build your house,
C
I'll come by.
Aah, Sara.
Aah.
Ooh.
