Fmaj7 Am Em x3

Fmaj7


[Verse 1]

          Am                   E
Well the wind went west, she poured my drink,
   Fmaj7                 C
Following the stars home (?)
          Am                     E 
Couldn't find no love from the angels above
        Fmaj7            C
Nor the devil down below
   Am                    E
Through all the sorrow, and every barlow (?)
 Fmaj7                    C
Stolen from the blackest hole
             Am                     E
Through the wind and the hail, we fumbled and failed
 Fmaj7         C  Fmaj7          G
Steady as we go, steady as we go


[Pre-Chorus]

           Fmaj7           C
And these amulets falling days
            G           Am
For you my stage, stage (?)
        Fmaj7                     C                G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
               Am                   Fmaj7 C G Am
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves

Fmaj7 C  Riff 1


[Verse 2]

          Am                  E
And the hurricane came, she borrowed my name,
  Fmaj7              C
Swollen she crept my way
         Am                         E
Neither rich nor the poor couldn't find no cure
    Fmaj7        C    Am
For this stolen thing (?)
                       E
We mumbled on, like a big time song,
Fmaj7            C
Quiet, holy and slow
     Am                     E
We tossed our backs, she tightened our straps,
 Fmaj7         C  Fmaj7          E
Steady as we go, steady as we go


[Chorus]

  Am     Fmaj7  C        G
Alright, okay, now I know
             Am         Fmaj7       C             G
Here in the hems of the hands that roll the bones
       Am                        G             C   E
That water, she's high, and the only one who knows
           Am           E         Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole

[Verse 3]

          Am                 E
Well the hills of gold, so haunted now
       Fmaj7                     C
Found comfort near the firelight
           Am              E
All the stories we told, turned us cold
 Fmaj7          G
Nothing's right
 Am                E
We're lost, we're lost in flame
      Fmaj7                     C
Made a map from the power lines 
        Am                       E
Oh the city down below let the factory show (?)
 Fmaj7           C
The words shined
 Fmaj7           G
Steady as we die


[Pre-Chorus]

           Fmaj7           C
And these amulets falling days,
            G           Am
For you my stage, stage
         Fmaj7                    C                G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
               Am                   Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
               Am                   Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
               Am              Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in
               Am                   Fmaj7 C E
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves


[Chorus]

  Am     Fmaj7  C         G
Alright, okay, now I know
             Am         Fmaj7      C             G
Here in the hems of the hands that roll the bones
          Am                        G             C   E
And that water she's high, and the only one who knows
           Am           E         Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
           Am           E         Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
           Am           E         Fmaj7       C    Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
