A                      Dsus2  
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale  
        Em11        Dsus2    A  
With a flame and a book of signs.  
                      Dsus2  
You'll never know how hard I've failed  
      Em11           Dsus2   A  
Trying to make up for lost time.  
  
  
  
A                   Dsus2  
Once I believed in things unseen  
           Em11   A  
I was blinded by the dark.  
                Dsus2  
Out of the multitude to me  
    Em11     Dsus2     A  
He came and broke my heart.  
  
  
  
          Em11        Dsus2      A  
When the dust in the field has flown,  
          Em11        Dsus2      A  
And the youngest of hearts has grown,  
         Em11        Dsus2      
And you doubt you will ever be free,  
Riff1             Riff1  
Don't bail on me.  
  
  
  
A                   Dsus2  
River is wide and oh so deep  
        Em11      Dsus2    A  
And it winds and winds around.  
               Dsus2  
I dream we're happy in my sleep  
          Em11    Dsus2     A  
Floating down and down and down.  
  
  
  
                    Dsus2         A  
And the tide rushes by where we stand,  
         Em11       Dsus2           A  
And the earth underneath turns to sand,  
           Em11         Dsus       
And we're waiting for someone to see,  
Riff1               Riff1  
Don't bail on me.  
  
  
  
A          Dsus2  
Tell ma I loved the man  
      Em11     Dsus2      A  
Even though I turned and ran.  
                   Dsus2  
Lovely and fine I could have been  
Em11                Dsus2       A  
Laying down in the palm of his hand.  
Em11                Dsus2       A  
Laying down in the palm of his hand.  
Em11                Dsus2       A  
Laying down in the palm of his hand.  
Em11                Dsus2       A  
Staying down in the palm of his hand.  
  
  
  
Em11              Dsus2          A  
In the morning you wait for the sun,  
      Dsus2   Em11          A  
And secretly hope it won't come,  
     Dsus2        Em11     Dsus2  
But time washes everyone clean,
