Chords

[Intro] G [Verse]
   G
We sail we sleep we scry dead land

   G
We dig a pit beneath the sand

  C
A place to keep the sun at bay

   G
At dark we rise and find out way
[Chorus]
       Bm            Em            G
With our faithful companion by our side

Bm                Em               C      G
Put it all on the table and let it ride

Bm           Em             C
Close to the dropoff on our long slide
[Verse]
    G
The land we left becomes a dream

    G
The ghosts we knew they rise like steam

     C
They leave some trails against the sky

G
All but invisible to the eye
[Chorus]
       Bm            Em            G
With our faithful companion by our side

Bm                Em               C      G
Put it all on the table and let it ride

Bm           Em             C
Close to the dropoff on our long slide
[Bridge]
D            Em
Call off the search party

C                        G
Let mourners wail by the shore

D                           Em
Point to the spot where our ship disappeared

      Bm                  C
We're not coming home any more
[Instrumental] Bm C G [Verse]
G
Should you succeed and breach the coast

    G
You tell your friends you've seen a ghost

    C                                        G
You tell them all there's nothing here worth dying for

    G
You leave it there
[Chorus]
       Bm            Em            G
With our faithful companion by our side

Bm                Em               C      G
Put it all on the table and let it ride

Bm           Em             C
Close to the dropoff on our long slide
[Outro] G Em C G D C G
