[F#] [B] [Em]
[E]
A [F#m] man who sailed [B] around his soul on his two westland coasts,
Over the eagle [G] as his [B] drunken captain greeted the mutineer that trapped [Gm] him,
The reason is known.
[F#] [E] The man who walked across his heart, [F#] took no [C#] compass, guide or chart,
No plan far as [Bm] blood can give [F#m] you when he [Bm] found the sun revealed [F#] a hidden cold.
[Bm] [G#] [A#m] And the sirens that [G#] sing [C#] for your nose [C#m] with its ring will [B] drag you in for your sins.
[G#] [C#] Now he sits all [D#m] alone [G#]
[C#] and his gold [B] plays like [E] homeless [G#m] in his skin,
A bag [F#] to keep life's souvenirs in.

[Em] A man who sailed [C] around his soul, [Bm] came back [A] again to find [Em] the hole,

A blade to walk his freezing compass on [C] return.
[Bm] [A] [E] A man who [C] walked across his heart,
A man [E] who turned it to the start,
The [C] river there he'd [E] broken off,
The lies he ever spoke he kept it all in [C] mind.
[C#] And the jellyfish sting,
Shrewd angels with wings [G#m] removed,
To be,
Dead to be.
[A#m] Now he sits all alone,
Knowing flesh, blood and bone [G#m] is everything.
