[Verse 1]
[G]Tha[C]t[D][G][C][D]
[G]time when we
were [C]crossin' the [D]Atlantic
The [G]moment now we [C]reached
the [Em]middle
You [G]turned to me [C]and said
something ro[D]mantic
'I've [Em]won the race and
[C]you're [G]the medal'
And all the ocean [C]liners we [D]were passing
Are [G]nothing on [C]a selling [Em]whistle
[G]And as the waves were r[C]olling
we were dan[D]cing
Like we [Em]had enough to [C]lose a[G] little

[Verse 2]
So [Am]sure [C]we were con[Em]tender[D]s
So [Am]strong and [C]willing to [D]fight

[Verse 3]
But it's [Em]a long way [D]down
When [G]you're far from the [Am]ground
And I've been [Em]falling [D]most of my [G]life
And though [C]the sunshine's [Em]on
Even [G]after you're [Am]gone
I [C]feel sorry for the [Dsus4]wasted li[D]ght[G][C][G]
Wasted light
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Spill off the port in[C]to a crowded
main[D]stream[G]
Looking for some[C]where to [Em]settle
[G]Soon enough we're [C]lost
inside the mys[D]tery[G]
We'll [Em]be strangers before [C]night [G]settle
With so [Em]much to say we've
[C]said too [G]little

[Verse 5]
Back [Am]then [C]we were pre[Em]tender[D]s
So [Am]young and [C]ready to [D]fight

[Verse 6]
Oh But it's [Em]a long
way [D]down
When [G]you're far from the [Am]ground
And I've [Em]been falling [D]most of my [G]life
And though [C]the sunshine's [Em]on
Even [G]after you're [Am]gone
I [C]feel sorry for the [Dsus4]wasted li[D]ght[Em]
I feel [C]sorry for the [Dsus4]wasted li[D]ght[G][D]
[Em][G][C][G][D][Em][G][C]

[Verse 7]
[Dsus4]
Ouh
[D]It's a [Em]long way [D]down
When [G]you're far from [Am]the ground
I've been [Em]falling [D]most of my [G]life
And though [C]the clock ticks [Em]on
even [G]after [Am]you're gone
I'm [C]just shaking hands with
[Dsus4]wasted ti[Em]me
I'm still [C]praying you come
[D]home one [Em]night
[G]Oo h It's a long

[Verse 8]
[C]
way [D]down[Em][G]
When [C]you're far from [G]ground[D][Em]
[G]And though the[C] sunshine's on[Em]
Even [G]after you're [Am]gone
I [C]feel sorry for the [Dsus4]wasted li[D]ght[Em]
I'm still [C]praying you come
[Dsus4]home one nigh[D]t
[G][C]

[Verse 9]
[D]
So [G]here I am [C]crossing the At[D]lantic
[Em]Maybe [C]see you at the middle
