Chords

(K. Wilkinson) From the 1993 studio album, Some Fantastic Place. Written and sung by bassist, Keith Wilkinson. **Happy to make any corrections!** [Intro] G (x4) [Chorus]
G
To be running so far away

D                      C
To rely on the perfect stranger

     D
True colours they suffer with age

G                             D
One look at the storm and fly straight on in

                C
To the rain and thunder

     D                     Em
Fool lover swept under the tide
[Verse 1]
Em                      D
The storm was gathering around them

Em                         D
He cast her off and put to sea

           Em                    D
Well, he'd found somebody new to steer him

            G
Through his dream
[Verse 2]
Em                            D
She sailed him all around her coastline

Em                D
Every inlet every bay

              Em
And though he knew it then

       D
He was too afraid to say it
[Chorus]
G
To be running so far away

D                      C
To rely on the perfect stranger

     D
True colours they suffer with age

G                             D
One look at the storm and fly straight on in

                C
To the rain and thunder

     D                     Em   D
Fool lover swept under the tide

                Em   D
Swept under the tide
[Verse 3]
Em                       D
One day all alone he wai-ted

    Em                        D
The silence crept beneath his door

Em                           D
And as the room grew dark he knew

              G
She's come no more
[Chorus]
G
To be running so far away

D                      C
To rely on the perfect stranger

     D
True colours they suffer with age

G                             D
One look at the storm and fly straight on in

                C
To the rain and thunder

     D                     Em   D
Fool lover swept under the tide

                Em   D
Swept under the tide
[Bridge]
G        D      C       D
Drifting in the dead of night

G       D        C       D
Show me landfall give me light
[Chorus]
G
To be running so far away

D                      C
To rely on the perfect stranger

     D
True colours they suffer with age

G                             D
One look at the storm and fly straight on in

                C
To the rain and thunder

     D                     Em   D
Fool lover swept under the tide

                Em   G
Swept under the tide
[Outro] G (x4)
G
Swept under the tide
