So like an in tro vert, I drew my ov er shirt a round my arms and be gan to shiv er (G)vio lent ly be (Fmaj9)fore Can you you hap penned to look
and (C)see
and the (Cmaj9)tun nels all a round me.
Run ning in to the dark
un der ground, and all the sub ways a round cre ate a great ver sound.
To my feel mo tion fa tigue:
fare (C)well.
when With (Cmaj9)your ear to a sea shell, I you can hear the waves in un der wat er caves as if you ac tual ly were in side a (G)salt wat er room.
Time to (Am)geth er is (F)nev er quite e nough.
When you and (Am)I are a lone, I’ve nev er (F)felt so at home.
What will it (Am)take to make or (F)break this hint of love?
