Okkervil River – Seas Too Far To Reach (Guitar)

      A                      D
The ladies in my dream- so obliging.

      E                              A     E
They come on down to do the things I need.

         A                            D
Whether skies are calm or cut apart by lightning,

        E                           A
They’re always there to minister to me.

     F#m                              A
And at break of dawn, they’re sweetly shining.

     F#m                          E                          D
Or at quiet of midnight, cold and dim,  They say “don’t harm him.”

           E                                A     D
And when I wake just as their eyes are crying,

          F#m                                E
I see that bed and I just want to climb back in.

     F#m                    D                 A                E
But let’s gather up your friends and drive up to that country inn.

     F#m                    D            A                E
We can stay there, feeling water warmly wash across our skin,

     D                   E                   A
Giving back all of our tears so that we can cry them again.

     A                                         D
You want to tell your dad you can’t believe he’s dying,

               E                                  A     E
But let’s just walk on down the hall and shut our mouths.

        A                       D
The AM radio is broken down and crying

             E                            A
As on this hour drive we’re silent to ourselves.

   F#m                                      A
Let’s go back up to your house, and take our clothes off.

   F#m                                       E            D
And just push and pull ourselves until we’re deep inside of sleep.

               E                              A          D
And with your body next to me, its sleepy sighing

            F#m                           E
Sounds like waves upon a sea too far to reach.

     F#m              D              A            E
But I’ll gather up my men and try to sail on it again,

     F#m                    D                   A                E
And we’ll walk and quietly talk all through the country of your skin,

           F#m             D                 A                E
Made up of pieces of the places that you’ve dreamed and that you’ve been.

             D                 A               F#M              E
And we will sleep outside in tents upon this unfamiliar land,

            D             E                 F#m                 D
And in the morning we’ll awake, yeah, as a foreign dawning breaks,

           A          E                          A
My men and I will all awake. Let's try again.
