CAPO: 3rd Fret
 
 
INTRO: Em  D  
 
Em                            D                       Em  C
Long distance calling, in the middle of a rainy night
        Am                       Em    D Em
So much static, hardly knew your voice
                                   D
And you've been crying, want me to love you like I did before
            C        G        D                    Em
Oh, when it comes to you, you know I've got no choice
 
 
Am
You put a storm inside me
        D                Em      C
I wanna head for a safer harbour
                   G
They all tell me I should give you up
       D                            C
But no man could'a tried any harder
              Am
Feels like an odyssey
       B                    Em
That's never gonna reach an end
      Am         
Every time I hear you calling me
           B                       
Just wanna feel you in my arms again
 
 
CHORUS:
       Em          C
Like a sailor to a siren
D                Em
Like a moth to a flame
C                             G
I know your love might be the death of me
      Am                  B
But I run to you just the same
Em                 C
Like a sailor to a siren
D                        A
Nothing's gonna keep us apart
C                 Em
Crashing over the wreckage
           B               Em
Of all the sailor's broken hearts
 
 
Em                           D                   Em  
Must'a met you, when we were living in another time
    C                       Am                Em   D   Em
Had nothing but the jealous gods to point our way
                             D
When men were sailors, and a woman was a rocky shore
C              G      D             Em
Wailing like a siren, leading him astray
 
 
Am
I've got another woman
      D                       Em    C
And I know you've got another man
                   G
They all tell me I should give you up
            D                         C
But I don't think that any mortal can
              Am
Feels like an odyssey
       B                    Em
That's never gonna reach an end
      Am  
Every time I hear you calling to me
           B
Just wanna feel you in my arms again
 
 
CHORUS:
Em                 C
Like a sailor to a siren
D                Em
Like a moth to a flame
C                             G
I know your love might be the death of me
      Am                  B
But I run to you just the same
       Em          C
Like a sailor to a siren
D                        A
Nothing's gonna keep us apart
C                 Em
Crashing over the wreckage
           B               Em     D G
Of all the sailor's broken hearts
 
 
BRIDGE:   
Gonna abandon ship, steal you from the cliff
Em                                                       D 
Take you to a place where the gods can't find us no more
Am                            G      D       Em
Let the sailors listen to the sirens if they dare
         A                     D
Gonna be dancing on the water, drowning in your yellow hair
 
 
Lead Break: Em C Em C Em A Em D Em C D Em A B 
 
 
CHORUS:    (## 2x - fade to end ##)
       Em          C
Like a sailor to a siren
D                Em
Like a moth to a flame
C                             G
I know your love might be the death of me
      Am                  B
But I run to you just the same
Em                  C
Like a sailor to a siren
D                        A
Nothing's gonna keep us apart
C                 Em
Crashing over the wreckage
           B               Em
Of all the sailor's broken hearts
