Balthazar - The Boatman (tabbed by Pino)

Not far off. :-)

Verse:
Gm          D#         F
Well it was yoyo, I suppose,
            Gm                Edim
I play like fashion comes and goes.
        D#             D/F# D
I can't set my mind on you.

Gm     D#               F
Yes I lied about those lovers,
               Gm                 Edim
that they were just some kind of cover
         D#               D/F# D
for the nights we used to share.

Pre-Chorus:    
     D     A   Gm     D#    A#
I've seen this water a lot before,
still I cross it once more.

Chorus:
   Gm                    D#
I shook the hand of the boatman
          F       F#dim          Gm       F
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt
Edim
the bridges I burnt
D#                     D/F# D
the bridges I burnt by now

Verse:
There are taking bets,
living all around our bed,
for I can't see my thoughts on you.
And I reduced them to a scratch.
You know, just some pre-fucked-up match
for the nights we used to share.
But I don't believe I care.

Chorus:
I shook the hand of the boatman
who would take me back along the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt
the bridges I burnt by now
