  			intro: E (and there's one high note played which is a B I think you should play the  
with a bar on the seventh fret,so that the highest note is a B 
 
E 
Shameless sea 
Aimlessly so blue 
A         B               E 
Midnight-moon shines for you 
 
(here goes the same for this and the next verse) 
Still, marooned 
Silence drifting through 
Nowhere to choose 
Just blue... 
 
Ceaselessly 
Star-crossed you and me 
Save our souls 
We'll be forever blue 
 
C 
Waves roll 
Bb         F 
Lift us in blue 
C 
Drift us 
Bb         F 
Seep right through 
              G 
And colour us blue 
 
(and here's where you have to hear the song to get the moment when it changes from a G  
an E again) 
 
E 
Wait for me 
Shamelss you, the sea 
A           B 
Soon, the Blue 
    E 
So soon... (repeat from A to E again)
