Intro: F# - B
Verse:
F# B
I stand alone in the harbour
F# B
And look out on the bay
F# B
The wind and rain makes it harder
F# B
No one braves the storm today
F# B
Distant bells and the gulls cry familiar sounds
F# B
My clothes are damp from the spray
F# B
The air is cold but my feet are even colder
F# B
The boats are where they're going to stay
Chorus:
E C#m
I never thought I'd ever worry about the weather
E C#m
I never used to care
E C#m
But it becomes too real when it provides the meals
E C#m
For you and many far away
Then repeat the verse and chorus chords
Bridge:
This comes after the second chorus, and I'm not entirely sure what he says. Sounds like
on the outside", but anyways, the chords are A and B.
