Verse 1:
B5                     G5
  She was just 5 years old
                 D5
A slightly moody day
                   A5
She couldn't stay away
                          B5
from that rivers edge and I
                  G5
I turn my back to count
All the daffodil
             D5
seas that surrounded
I close my eyes and
     A5
then heard the water wake up


Chorus:
    G5
And I, I can still
           A5
hear that scream
                B5
It's still lingering
in the air everywhere
                     A5
"Mother, please save me
grab my hand"
           G5
(I can't I can't)
                     A5
I can still see that face
                 B5
sink beneath the waves
Baby please breath for me
                  A5
give me time I am here
Where did you go?
G5               A5
  Where did you go?
              G5
Where did you go?
                  A5
Hey where did you go?


Verse 2:
D5
  Were the angels that lonely?
B5
  Couldn't they suffice
            G5
for anybody else?
Can't everybody
just lie to me
      A5
She's home she's home
              D5
Crying for me now
Every night on a Monday
B5
  I will visit the
                 G5
same spot that I hate
Yes the place that baby loved
    A5
and now she can taste
                   D5  B5
it oh it took her away


Verse 3:
                           G5
It's been five years since then
                    D5
And when it hits September
                          A5
I'll feel like I'm dying again
Ian still won't even
talk to me talk to me
B5                       G5
  Isn't this pain guilt enough
                          D5
I can't even look out the window
without seeing reflections
   A5
distorted in the sun


(Repeat chorus and Verse 2 except last line)


                   D5
it oh it took her away


Verse 4:
B5
  And the pain hits me like gunshot
G5
  And I'm heading on the way to the
D5
floor I hear her name and it kills
  A5
me Oh Bottles up Bottles up
        B5
Bottles up


Verse 5:
And I'm trying my
             G5
best to hurt me
                     D5
Ian says it's never enough
A razor to the wrist for
            A5
each unshed tear cough it up
                     B5  G5  A5
drink it up drink it up

I Pray for them
I often loose track

So I took a drag
      G5
of my first cigarrette
      F5
and I found my head
Roll down the dumps
   C5 G5
of 27th street
  F5
I drew a sketch
with lipstick and sidewalk
   C5
of Newports edge
G5
Legoblock cliffs
       F5
and an ocean that doesn't
deserve the
          G5
sounds of silence
I'd swear on a
dead artists grave


Chorus:
    A5
And I found a spot
          G5
where the drunk
never got to
   C5
it rocks me gently
silent silent
   A5
If I never surface
G5
it doesn't matter
C5
Hold my breath
It's silent silent


Verse 2:
F5
Diligent
Escape by the water
   C5
Not sick of it
   G5
It only gets harder
          F5
That's no excuse
to block all
the cliches and
C5      G5
reason for kicks
    F5
He strokes her hair
both sitting on sand
        C5
and her shoulders bare
  G5
nothing to demand of them
F5
laying back on a
lonely stone wall
    C5
and passersby
     G5
look passed it all
