Start Jamming...
Now you've [C#m] been gone for a [A] long time, run off with [E] my heart [B] into the sea.
[D] Once [A] I'd have thought [B] you'd never let me [B]
go.
[D] Now [A] I'm alone, I've [E]
[Em]
sat [F#m] for hours at [G#m] my [A] table.
Pouring over [E]
maps about [B] our stars.
[D] All they [A] would say is [E] that you were always [B]
here.
And [D] now life [A]
goes to the [B] spin.
[D] Strange how you [A]
came to life, [E] reef up from [B] the sea.
Reef [D] up from [A] the blood in [F#] my veins.

[A] [B]
[F#] Cold [C#m] and the [A]
silence that you [E] left behind you [D#m] are my friends.
[F#m]
[D] I [A] wonder why you [Em] padlocked [B] up my heart [D] if you [A] never meant to [Em] turn it on.
[E]
Nothing [F#]
good will [E]
[C#] come of dying, [A] burnt off with [E] my heart in the [B]
night.
The [D]
bones [A] I've found you to [E]
never let me [B] go, [D] now [A] I'm alone.
