[Intro 1]
[D][Bsus4][Bm][A][D][Bm][Bsus4][Bm]
[D]Along

[Verse 1]
the quayside,
[Bm]you were a light
[A]An [D]d
I, a reflection, lay [Bm]across the [Bsus4]river
an[Em]d de[Bsus4]nied[Bm]
[D]You were transfixed on me
and I [Bm]was mesmerized
[G]And names were whispered
to [Bm]and b[Em]y[A]
You [D]and [Bm]I[D][Bm]
[A]
[D]The tides began to steal away [Bm]from
[Bsus4]morning l[Em]ight[Bsus4][Em]
[D]As night receded,
river [Bm]waltz [Bsus4]seemed to gr[Em]ow hi[Bsus4]gh
[A]Then [D]you climbed down into my
arm[Bm]s and closed your eyes
[G]When we awoke, we had [Bm]been drift[G]ing
We didn't [D]mean to go to sea,
we didn't [G]mean to drift away
We never [Bm]planned [Bsus4]to upwind thee
[Bm]But still [G]the sea took us away
We [D]saw no lands on the horizon
No [G]distant shores along the fray
[D]Yet all [Bm]the [Bsus4]more we
found ourselves
[Em]When [Bm]we got [G]lost at sea that
[D]day[Bm][D]
[Bm][D]
Timbers creaked,
all else [Bm]was quite unrel[Em]ieved[Bm][Em]
[D]Except the infant waves that licked
and lapped [Bm]along [Bsus4]the eaves[Bm][D]
It had to dawn on us our [Bm]truth
[Bsus4]had been [Bm]belie[G]ved
Beyond all lies and jeal[A]ousy
[D]We sailed high, wind half -mast
To [Bm]north towards the [E]edge[Bsus4]
[Bm]Of o[D]ur dreams, grateful borders
That matched [Bm]our s[Bsus4]peed to stay[Bm]
[A]The af[D]ternoon was bleeding to death
And soon [Bm]the sky was racing red
[D]To [G]see the stars remove
their hats out of respect
We didn't [D]mean to go to sea
We did[G]n't mean to drift away
[D]We never [Bm]planned[Bsus4]
to upwind leave
[Bm]But still [G]the sea took us away
[D]We saw no lights on the horizon,
no dis[G]tant shores along the fray
[D]Yet all [Bm]the more we
[Bsus4]found ourselves
[Bm]When we [G]got lost at sea that day
[D]An d I [Bm]say[Bsus4][Bm][Bsus4][E]
[D][Bm][Bsus4][Bm][D][G][Bm]
[G][G]
You
