Tom: A5

A5                      D5
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
        E5        D5    A5
With a flame and a book of signs.
                      D5
You'll never know how hard I've failed
      E5           D5   A5
Trying to make up for lost time.


A5                   D5
Once I believed in things unseen
           E5   A5
I was blinded by the dark.
                D5
Out of the multitude to me
    E5     D5     A5
He came and broke my heart.


          E5        D5      A5
When the dust in the field has flown,
          E5        D5      A5
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
         E5        D5    
And you doubt you will ever be free,
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me.


A5                   D5
River is wide and oh so deep
        E5      D5    A5
And it winds and winds around.
               D5
I dream we're happy in my sleep
          E5    D5     A5
Floating down and down and down.


                    D5         A5
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
         E5       D5           A5
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
           E5         D5     
And we're waiting for someone to see,
Riff1               Riff1
Don't bail on me.


A5          D5
Tell ma I loved the man
      E5     D5      A5
Even though I turned and ran.
                   D5
Lovely and fine I could have been
E5                D5       A5
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
E5                D5       A5
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
E5                D5       A5
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
E5                D5       A5
Staying down in the palm of his hand.


E5              D5          A5
In the morning you wait for the sun,
      D5   E5          A5
And secretly hope it won't come,
     D5        E5     D5
But time washes everyone clean,
              Riff1
Honey now, don't bail on me.
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me.
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me.
