G D Em C 
Oh.... 

G                              D 
Tie me up against the mast and shield the sunlight from my eyes 
Em                         C 
I no longer can resist the haunting of her cries 
G 
They call me from the jagged rock 
D 
It was the sweetest melody 
Em                                    C 
Like gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of God 
G                            D 
I feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wings 
Em                         C 
I feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me 


    G        D              Em              
But I can almost taste happiness 
            C 
It's such a long way off 
    G       D                 Em 
But I can almost feel your embrace 
          C 
Above the siren's call 

G D Em C 
Oh.... 

G 
Now it's not beautiful or pure 
D 
But it exists beyond the shore 
Em                                 C 
It struggles to be heard above the screeching of her call 
G 
Beneath my feet a rumbling 
D 
A hundred demons clambering 
Em                             C 
They chase away my harmony and make love afraid to call 
G                            D 
They grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea 
Em 
No they will not be silenced 
C 
Never for you or me 

 
    G        D              Em              
But I can almost taste happiness 
            C 
It's such a long way off 
    G       D                 Em 
But I can almost feel your embrace 
          C 
Above the siren's call 

G D Em C 2x 
Oh.... 

G 
And I've seen a hint of it 
D 
This happiness 
This bliss 
Em                      C 
Just knowing it exists I know that I must try 
G 
And I've caught a glimpse of it 
D 
One moment just one kiss 
Em 
From the corner of my eye 
C 
Of better days gone by 

    G        D               Em     C 
But I can almost taste happiness....ohhh 
    G        D               Em     C 
But I can almost feel your embrace...
