     Like a song

     And our bed and the dress that you wore

     So I'll send you my words

     From the corners of my room

     Please read them by the light of the moon

     And my skin

F              Fm       C            D
     And float over the tired, tired sea

             F       Fm       C
     So that I could see you again
F Fm C
Am   G               F        C  G/B   
     Maybe you would leave too

Am            G                 F
     And we'd blindly pass each other

F             Fm       C     D
     Floating over the ocean blue

             F             Fm         C
     Just to find the warm bed of our lover
