Intro
D Bm x2
(Start on last Bm)
BmDBm
well, it's a long way out to reach the sea
DBm
but I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me
DA
and by the time I blink, I'll see your wild arms swinging
BmG
just to meet me in the middle of the road
EG
and you'll hold me like you'll never let me go
EG
and beside the salty water, I could hold you close,
DBm
but you are far too beautiful to love me
DBmDBm
it's a long climb up the dusty mountain
DBm
to build a turret tall enough to keep you out
DA
but when you wage your wars against the one who adores you,
BmG
then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth
EG
but I've never been a wealthy one before
EG
I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold,
DBm
and I think I'm far too poor for you to want me
DBmDBmDABGEGEGDBmDBm
it's been a long road, losing all I've owned
DBm
and you don't know what you've got until you're gone
DA
and it's a nasty habit, spending all you have, but
BmG
when you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost
BmG
and if you leave before the start, then there was never love at all
BmG
and heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should have loved,
DBm
and yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
