AmAmCAm add4 Am
Where do promises go after sundown?
CFCAm
Do they just disappear like a boat leaving land?
AmCAm add4 Am
What are words if not spoken sincerely?
CFCmaj9AmAm
They are worth nothing more than a handful of sand
CFGCC
I could just wait here in silent devotion
CFGC
Let the weeks pass in a constant concern
CFGEm
But I won’t do that, to hell with your ocean
Fmaj7FCmaj9Am
Tell me why did you promise you’d always return?
AmCAm add4 Am
What are stories if nobody listens?
CFCmaj9Am
Do you tell them to stars over waters unknown?
AmCAm add4 Am
Do the winds whisper softly like I do?
CFCmaj9AmAm
Do the whales sing you songs when you’re all on your own?
CFGC
I could just wait here in silent devotion
CFGC
Lay here all worried at night in my bed
CFGEm
But I won’t do that, to hell with your ocean
Fmaj7Fmaj7Cmaj9AmEmCD
So I damn you and curse you and wish you were dead
FDGAm
But I need you and want you, you’re still in my head
