Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Made a good run but I've run too far

G
Fought the battle of jalopy in this beat-up car

        C/G                                                  G
But I'm drawn to you honey like the sea to the fisherman's daughter

            D                 Em
It's just a short walk on the water
[Verse 2]
       G
If you find yourself alone, if you run out of road

       G
If you get the way it gets when lightning strikes and then goes

C/G                                                 G
I'll be around, it don't matter what the others offer

            D                 Em
It's just a short walk on the water
[Chorus]
       C/G
I'm in love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear

       G
You're standing over there and I'm standing right here

     C/G                                                  D
The choice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wanna
[Verse 3]
G
You and I've been lovers, honey, you and I are friends

G
Been that way forever since I can't remember when

C/G                                                 G
Everything happens for a reason or at least, it oughta

            D                 Em
It's just a short walk on the water
[Chorus]
       C/G
I'm in love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear

       G
You're standing over there and I'm standing right here

     C/G                                                  D
The choice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wanna
[Break] Am C/G Em C/G Am C/G D [Bridge]
         G                                                   C
With the storm in your hair and the salt in your eyes in the cyclone

        G                                                     C
And the cap of each wave like the first day that you fell in love

     G                                                 C
And you're in between nothing but the thin air and the unknown

     G                                       C
On a night when enough couldn't possibly be enough
[Verse 4]
 G
Everything is changing now, times are strange

    G
You know me honey like you know my name

   C/G                                         G
My heart is a silver fish on the line of your laughter

            D                 Em
It's just a short walk on the water
[Chorus]
       C/G
I'm in love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear

       G
You're standing over there and I'm standing right here

     C/G                                                  D
The choice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wanna

            D                 Em   C/G
It's just a short walk on the water
