No capo

C                      C      (Bb)
The space between your fingers
C                 C    Bb
The lack of water burns
C                    C     (Bb)
The fear in you that lingers
C                    C      Bb
Stalking all whom it concerns
C                           (Bb)
The tempest's howling chorus
C                           Bb
Sings the days we never took
C                               (Bb)
As they come dying all before us
C                    C Bb
The closing of a book

D                E
I turn the other cheek
    F#m
I'm dropping, I am one
  D               E
Into the hands of nameless lands
   F#m 
To which you cannot run
            D             E
Oh, But the ocean is your voice
              F#m
It whispers, "Half of me has fled"
               D                E
And now you're screaming bloody murder
         F#m
Breaking promises and bread
               D                E
And now you're screaming bloody murder
         F#m
Breaking promises and bread

C                               (Bb)
Your words now crossing worldly borders
C                      Bb
Strip my covered ears
The only thought that comforts
Is the hope in future years
That maybe you'll arrive here
With a heart and mind subdued
And maybe we'll remember then
The life that we pursued

>>>Chorus>>>>>

    D               E
The tide sweeps you away
       F#m
But no further can you be
D                         E
One night's sleep through winter
        F#m
Time is nothing more to me
            D             E
Oh, And the ocean is your voice
               F#m
It's howling, "Half my life is dead"   (song has an echo)
          D                E
And it is screaming bloody murder   (softer here)
         F#m
Breaking promises and bread 
         D                E
And I am screaming bloody murder
         F#m
Breaking promises and bread 

Repeat chorus pattern fading, end on F#m
