Misc Originals – Charlie Hodgson - Latarnia (Guitar)

C
This ship talks to me at night

Am
Just like some labored lullaby

F
It speaks in creaks that tell me I

C                        G
Will never make it out alive

C
The tide it teases me to no end

Am
Haunting the hull with ghosts of old friends

F
And just when I think that I spy dry land

C                             G
My mind reminds me just where I am

           Am          G        F
And these thoughts slowly sink in

            Am         G      C
20 thousand leagues under my skin

      C
So I row

      Am
This bastard of a boat

   F
As waves of panic

                  C   G
Crash and dash my hopes

         C
But you glow

     E7
You show me where to go

            Am            G
And I could wreck at any second

                  F                  C
But you guide me home, you guide me home

C
My captain’s log’s filled with confessions

Am
And scores of unsent SOS’s

F
Like me this sea is something restless

C                               G
I battle with paddles ‘til I’m breathless

      Am           G      F
As I wait for the sun to rise

      Am     G      C
All I see is my demise

      C
So I row

      Am
This bastard of a boat

   F
As waves of panic

                  C   G
Crash and dash my hopes

         C
But you glow

     E7
You show me where to go

            Am            G
And I could wreck at any second

                  D7/F#
But you guide me home

          Am
There’s cracks in the starboard

       E
I feel it in the abyss

       F
Of my stomach that this is the end

     E
And no one notices

     Am
The sharks have started circling

      E
They know what shape I’m in

       Am               G       F
But I see something on the horizon

       Am          G      C
You've always been my beacon

      C
So I row

      Am
This bastard of a boat

   F
As waves of panic

                  C   G
Crash and dash my hopes

         C
But you glow

     E7
You show me where to go

            Am            G
And I could wreck at any second

                  F
But you guide me home

C
It's darkest before dawn

G
And these nights drag on and on

Am                       F
But your light keeps me strong

C
A new day in tow

G
Now that I know

Am             D7/F#
I'm never all alone

              C
You guide me home
