[Intro]
Em/B Bm D/A C/G x2
[Verse 1]
Em/B Bm
Oh love when I get lonesome
D/A C/G
I'm gonna call you up into my world
Em/B Bm
When waters rise up I do my best
D/A C/G
To keep my home floating upon your chest
Em/B Bm
Oh love when I get lonesome
D/A C/G
I'm gonna grow you up like you deserve
Em/B Bm
You'll be a big tree, branching up around me
D/A C/G
I'll be your baby, cradle me safely
[Chorus]
Am C
Come on and hold me like I'm your girl
Am C
And I'll hold you like I'm your girl
Am C
In this the ending of the world
[Verse 2]
Em/B Bm
After the gold rush shook off the gold dust
D/A C/G
After we'd taken more than god had meant for us
Em/B Bm
We dammed up plenty but still felt empty
D/A C/G
The land was rich but we left it poor
Em/B Bm
I've spent a fine sum, but I will share
D/A C/G
I know you're thirsty and unprepared
Em/B Bm
When I wet my lips with love you'll feel me there
D/A C/G
But then I'll run from you 'cause I'm scared
[Instrumental]
Em/B Bm D/A C/G x2
[Bridge]
Em/B Bm G C/G
And I've trained myself to run this way I've trained myself to fly
Em/B Bm G C/G
And I've dragged you all this way without an understanding why
Em/B Bm G C/G
And I'm holding on to nothing oh, I know that hurt your pride
Em/B Bm G C/G
I just thought I could keep you from the loss of having to say goodbye
Em/B Bm G C/G
But there's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die
Em/B Bm G C/G
There's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die
[Verse 3]
Em/B Bm
Come see my wide eyes, behold my wild mind
D/A C/G
I love you, leave you here by my blindside
Em/B Bm
But when 14 feet came on a flood tide
D/A C/G
I still tried to keep us up, to hold us high
Em/B Bm
And I never meant to put you down
D/A C/G
But this disaster that came through town
Em/B Bm
Rose up the sea and tunnels drowned
D/A C/G
My boats broke free and battered you 'round
[Chorus]
Am Em
But if you hold me like I'm your girl
Am C
I'll still hold you like I'm your girl
Am Em
In this the ending of the world
Am C
In this the ending of the world
