Intro

F Asus A Gm Csus C


F
Still the pulse survives
                       Am
The conscious candour of our conversation
Gm
Lovely as you are 
              Csus                C
I see the strain, the pain, the degradation
F
Strips of light delightful
                 Am
Either side of bars so thick and wide
       Gm                                           Csus C
You hide them with a colourful sigh

F                                         Am
Falling at your feet in sheer joy that you were able to
Gm                                           Csus C
Receive me like a favourite chair
A                                      Dm
Soaking up the tears if by magic it'll make me
          Bb                                        Csus C
Ever warmer even after you're not here


Bb                C                        Dm
Could I be a boat for you a while?
Bb                 C                          A                 Bb
Could I stay afloat for you and sail in your smile?
Gm               C
Could I be a boat for you
         A                   Bb
And ever gain this weight for you
Gm              C                      F
Could I be a boat for you a while?

You are the yellow flower of my youth
The scent of nothing wasted
With little left to prove
Oh graceful evergreen you take me
Over hill I've ever been
And others, just illusions
Only seeming to be
Falling at your feet in sheer joy that you were able to
Receive me like a favourite chair
Soaking up the tears if by magic it'll make me
Ever warmer even after you're not here

Could I be a boat for you a while?
Could I stay afloat for you and sail in your smile?
Could I be a boat for you
And ever gain this weight for you
                                               Dbsus Db Dbsus Db  Bb F
Could I be a boat for you a while?
