[Verse 2]
          D       C                   Am   D
See I've made mistakes that I can't erase

            Em                                   Em
Some of the love I've lost will not come back to me

She didn't deserve it; nobody ever deserves it

But I cut anchor and I drifted out to sea

[Verse 3]
    D        C                          Am   D
We climb to safety, you and me and the baby

             Em                                        Em      D

The world's on   fire and we just climb higher   'til we're no longer bothered by the smoke and sound

     D       C                          Am               D            Em      Em
Good people suffer and the heart gets tougher, nothing given, nothing   found
