(D)                        (G)           (D)
I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above.

                          (A7sus4)
I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again.

(D)                             (G)
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.

(D)                          (A7sus4)
If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.

B                A                             B
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.

        A
Ohhhhhh

D                         G                  D
Best as a wishing star, I saw you better far away,

                           A7sus4
and I felt obligation, and heard your voice again.

D                       G                D
Hear the rush of water, passing over the shoals.

                             A7sus4
Hear my heartbeat rather, if I reached out tonight.

B              A                        B
If I reach out tonight and find I can't fight it,

                A
and look to the stars, and wander towards a

D                       G                     D
heartfelt obligation, a place that you called home

                     A7sus4
and heard your voice again, but it's too late.

D                                 G
You left long ago, and now you're probably dead and gone,

    D                      A7sus4                     B           A
and I'm left here with the water and the shoals and a tainted obligation.

B       A
Ohhhhhh
D G D A7sus4 D G D A7sus4
B           A
Tainted obligations

B           A
Tainted obligations

B       A
Ohhhhhh

Ohhhhhh
