D G
With the first light and the little
A D
Fragile moon
D G
I was out on the porch now
A D
I'm ready for doom
G A D
And it's funny how it all came to be
G A D
The way you so plainly chose to stare at me
D G
And the afternoon embraces you
A D
Like a million worried hands
D G
And I want to look forward
A D
Go discover foreign land
G A
In the mirror I was balancing
D
On tiny strings
G A
It looks silly but oh really it's just
D
A physical thing
D G
So tell me why you ask me
A D
To do as I please
D G
I would rather fall backwards
A D
And forget everything
G A
And I've tried to call on you when
D
I know you're not home
G A
I'm not ready for this but it's
D
The way it goes
G A D (2x)
D G
It was easier when I knew
A D
Nnothing of what I'd missed
D G
You're so happy I can see it and that's
A D
The worst part of it
G A
So let her take you out
D
On sea
G A
I will wave to you from the harbor
D
Oh little silly me
Em A
The sailors leave in the morning
Dm A
I'll be waiting for you all night
Em A
The ship sets off in the morning
Em A
I'll be waiting for you all right
A Em
Oh night
A Em
Oh night
A Em
Oh night
A
Oh night
