D5                     G5           
With the first light and the little
A5         D5
Fragile moon
       D5         G5             
I was out on the porch now
    A5         D5
I'm ready for doom
         G5            A5           D5
And it's funny how it all came to be
  G5            A5                D5
The way you so plainly chose to stare at me


D5                 G5            
And the afternoon embraces you
A5                      D5
Like a million worried hands
D5                  G5
And I want to look forward
A5                   D5
Go discover foreign land
G5                   A5
In the mirror I was balancing 
D5
On tiny strings
G5                     A5
It looks silly but oh really it's just 
D5
A physical thing


D5          G5
So tell me why you ask me
A5          D5
To do as I please
D5              G5
I would rather fall backwards
A5          D5
And forget everything
G5                 A5
And I've tried to call on you when
D5
I know you're not home
G5             A5
I'm not ready for this but it's
D5
The way it goes



G5 A5 D5    x2




D5                  G5
It was easier when I knew 
A5                    D5
Nnothing of what I'd missed 
D5                     G5        
You're so happy I can see it and that's
A5                 D5
The worst part of it
G5               A5
So let her take you out
D5
On sea
G5                           A5
I will wave to you from the harbor
D5
Oh little silly me 


E5          A5
The sailors leave in the morning
D5          A5
I'll be waiting for you all night
E5            A5
The ship sets off in the morning
E5            A5
I'll be waiting for you all right
        A5        E5
Oh night
        A5        E5
Oh night
        A5        E5
Oh night
        A5
Oh night
