Verse 1:
G           C               G
 I'd go beyond our fighting borders
        D                G       C     G     D
 If you needed that from me
G               C         G
 I'd march with decorated soldiers
             D              G       C     G     D
 To get your pretty eyes to see
G              C                  G
 Well, I would bring your morning coffee
          D              G       C      Em     D
 Then I'd wrap you up in me
G              C              Em
 I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders
       D               G      C     Em      D
 Cover blankets on our feet
PRECHORUS:
    Em
 So slow down
         F
 There's some kind of blessing here
     C                    D
 But you have missed your cue
Chorus: 
              G           D
 So keep your eyes set on the horizon
        Em                    Bm
 On the line where blue meets blue
     G          D
 And I bet that silver lining
         Em                 Bm
 Where I know it'd find you soon
        C               D                 Em
 'Cause I have sailed a thousand ships to you
        C              D               G
 But my messages don't seem to make it through
Instrumental BREAK:

 Are calling your name, but I'll be here waiting
      G             Am          Em          D 
 I'll always be the same if you let me in again
