C
Had we never
C C/B Am G
come across the vastness of pavement the
Fmaj7/C Dm Fmaj7/C G
barrenness of waves and the grayness of the sea
C C/B Am G
Never lost or ne'er been misguided
Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G C
We'd have ne'er reached seas so shi-i-ning
C C/B Am G
Or come from out of a hansom in Camden to a
Fmaj7/C Dm Fmaj7/C G
bar in the basement while all the while it rained
C C/B Am G
Or come around to the friendliest of faces
Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G C C/B Am G Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G
Handsomest in ugly pla-a-ces
C C/B Am G
Or come from out of the tunnels we dig in to see that
Fmaj7/C Dm Fmaj7/C G
tunneling's not living and working doesn't work
C C/B Am G
Or come to find that loving is a labour
Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G C C/B Am G Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G
and Labour's life and life's fore-e-ver
C C/B Am G
Or come to see that keeping's not giving you
Fmaj7/C Dm Fmaj7/C G
get what you've given You get what you deserve
C C/B Am G
And in the midst of all of the action
Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G C
Maybe you only there found satisfa-ac-tion
---------------------------------------------------------------------
For this verse, use Am(v2) and G(v2).
Am E/G# G D/F# (2x)
Am E/G# G D/F#
Chasing sea-foam dreams around another dirty old town
Am E/G# G D/F#
Parallel run streams toward the gray ocean from the green ground
Am E/G# G D/F#
"'Oed und leer, das meer" but look beneath the glassy surface
Am E/G# G D/F#
All the songs you hear down there they have a purpose
---------------------------------------------------------------------
C C/B Am G Fmaj7/C Dm Fmaj7/C G
C C/B Am G
All in all we cannot stop singing we
Fmaj7/C Dm Fmaj7/C G
cannot start sinking we swim until it ends
C C/B Am G
They may kill and we may be parted
Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
We will ne'er be broken hear-art-ed
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 (3x)
Fsus2 Fsus2 Fsus2 Fsus2 C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 (repeat until end on C)
