Intro: C Fmaj7 Am G  Fmaj7 Dm G7 
 
C                        Fmaj7 
Out on the sea we'd be forgiven 
Am                           G 
Our bodies stark the spirit living 
Fmaj7                                             
Wouldn't you like to know  
Dm                         G7 
How far you've got left to go? 
 
C                         Fmaj7 
Somebody's tried nobody made you 
Am                                     G 
It's not what you stole its what they gave you 
Fmaj7 
In or out you go 
Dm                    G7 
In your silence your soul 
 
Bridge: C Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7 Dm G 
 
C                      Fmaj7 
Would you rather go unwilling 
Am                              G 
The heart is full and now it's spilling 
Fmaj7               
Barreling down the steps 
Dm             G7 
Only a moment left 
 
   C                Fmaj7 
In hind of sight no peace of mind 
Am                  G 
Where you begin and I?m defined 
Fmaj7          Dm 
Daughter of unconscious faith 
G7 
Time will tell in spite of me 
 
C                   Fmaj7 
In hind of sight no peace of mind 
      Am             G 
Where it begins and we?ll define 
F7                Dm 
Shadows bend and suddenly 
    G7                                
The world becomes and swallows me eeeeeeeeee 
C              Dm Fmaj7          G7       
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah 
 
Bridge: Fmaj7 Dm G7 C Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7 Dm G 
 
C             Fmaj7 
Whistle to a friend 
Am              G 
Gentle 'til the end 
Fmaj7              Dm 
Anyway, in a name, she takes shape 
          G7 
Just the saaaaaaame 
 
Outro: C Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7 Dm G7
