haunts your dreams Of mountains sunk below the sea
B
  I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.

A funeral keeps both of us apart

  You know that you are not alone
Need you like water in my lungs

This is the end
This story's old But it goes on and on

Until we disappear
Calm me and let me taste The salt that you breathed While you were underneath

  I am the one who
haunts your dreams Of mountains sunk below the sea
B
  I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.

   I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
B
  You know that you are not alone
Need you like water in my lungs
            F# (hold)
Thsi is the end
