Dsus2
A white moon appears

Dsus2
Like a hole in the sky,

G6/D
The mangroves go quiet.

Dsus2
In la Brisa de la Palma

Dsus2
A teenage Rasputin

G6/D
Takes the sting from a gin,

Dsus2
When a woman learns to walk

Dsus2
She's not dependent anymore

G6/D
A line front her letter May twenty-four

Dsus2
And out on the bay

Dsus2
The current is strong

G6/D
A boat can go lost.
[bridge]
Dsus2
But I didn't know someone

Dsus2
Could be so lonesome

Dsus2
Didn't know a heart

Dsus2
Could be tied up

Dsus2                 Dsus2    G6/D
And held for ransom.
[ chorus]
D
Until you take your shoes

D          G
And go outside, 

D            G
stride over stride.

D            G
Walk to that tide

D                       G
'cause the door is open wide.
[ verse ]
Dsus2
Turned the fan off

Dsus2
And went for a walk

G6/D
By the lights down on Shield Street.

Dsus2
The birds in the trees

Dsus2
Open their wings

G6/D
He goes home again.

Dsus2
He dreams resistance,

Dsus2
They talk commitment,

G6/D
Things change over long distance.

Dsus2
Took the shirt off his back

Dsus2
The eyes from his head

G6/D
And left him for dead
[ bridge ]
Dsus2
But I didn't know someone

Dsus2
Could be so lonesome

Dsus2
Didn't know a heart

Dsus2
Could be tied up

Dsus2                 Dsus2    G6/D
And held for ransom.
[chorus]
D
Until you take your shoes

D          G
And go outside, 

D            G
stride over stride.

D            G
Walk to that tide

D                       G
'cause the door is open wide.
[interlude] | Dsus2 | G6/D | x2
Dsus2     G6/D    Dsus2             G6/D
Little... lies     they'll take your pride

Little... lies     they'll take your pride
