Intro: C
C Em Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day Am F An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway C Em Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path Am F Every moment points towards the aftermath
Yeah
Interlude: C, Dm, F X2
C Em Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town Am F Hopeless urchins from the city gather round C Em Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide Am F Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides C Am Chorus: And I am coming home to you F C G With my own blood in my mouth C Am And I am coming to you F C G If it’s the last thing that I do C Em Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills Am F Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills C Em And a rabbit gives up somewhere, and a dozen hawks descend Am F Every moment leads toward its own sad end
Yeah
(Interlude)
C Em Ships loosed from their mornings capsize and then they’re gone Am F Sailors with no captains watch awhile and then move on C Em And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction Am F All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection C Am Chorus: I am coming home to you F C G With my own blood in my mouth C Am And I am coming to you F C G If it’s the last thing that I do
( Do the interlude 3 or 4 times and end on C )
Notes:
-When playing Em only play the top three strings like a power chord
-Number of times interlude will vary throughout the song but is still all the same
{C, Dm, F}
