The Boatman

 
              
 
Verse: 
 
Gm          D#         F 
Well it was yoyo, I suppose, 
            Gm                Edim 
I play like fashion comes and goes. 
        D#             D/F# D 
I can't set my mind on you. 
 
Gm     D#               F 
Yes I lied about those lovers, 
               Gm                 Edim 
that they were just some kind of cover 
         D#               D/F# D 
for the nights we used to share. 
 
Pre-Chorus  
   
     D     A   Gm     D#    A# 
I've seen this water a lot before, 
still I cross it once more. 
 
 
   Gm                    D# 
I shook the hand of the boatman 
          F       F#dim          Gm       F 
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt 
Edim 
the bridges I burnt 
D#                     D/F# D 
the bridges I burnt by now 
 
 
 
Verse: 
There are taking bets, 
living all around our bed, 
for I can't see my thoughts on you. 
And I reduced them to a scratch. 
You know, just some pre-fucked-up match 
for the nights we used to share. 
But I don't believe I care. 
 
Chorus: 
I shook the hand of the boatman 
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt 
the bridges I burnt 
the bridges I burnt by now
