A                                 D
Been here staring, staring at the rain to long now

A                         D
Winter coal burning at my toes

A                                 D
Seems like everything, everything I do is going wrong somehow

A                              D
Feeling blue everywhere that I go

Bm              F#               D
And I'm trying, trying yeah to remember her grace

Bm      F#             D
Trying, trying oh to recapture her words so pure

Bm     F#          D
Aaaaah aaaaall the lines on her face

A                               D
Honey what what the hell are we doing this for?

D                               F#m    A        D
What the hell are we doing this for at all?

Found a letter under a stone

Oh, told of giants, kings, oh palaces and gold, palaces and gold Somewhere, somewhere over the horizon

Bm       F#m                         D
I swear, I swear I'm going out there to find them

D             Bm
To find them
[Chorus]
                    G               Bm
Oh I'm going to the ocean no, no ,no

                     G
Answer some of these questions that have been dragging me down

All this time

                G                                   Bm
Over mountains, mountains of black and white, white

          D                G          Bm
Til I know, know what I've found here

      D     Bm             G          D
Til I know, know what I've found here

Darling won't you wait for me?

A                 D                       A      G
Darling won't you be there standing there at the shore?

              D                   A
Cause I'll be coming home, coming home soon

Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you

Oh dreaming of words, words my father always said to me

     Bm     F#m                   D
Said "dont, dont be afraid of the dark sometimes

How strong a heart can be

How beautiful the summer breeze

                  D                    Bm
How carefree is a sea bird as it flies

                    D     Bm
How much you really need"
