CI don’t know you Fbut I want you,
Call the more for that. F
CWords fall through me
and Falways fool me
Cand I can’t react. F
And Am7games that Gnever amoFsusunt
to Gmore than they’re Am7meant
will G9play themselves Fout…
CTake this sinking Fsus2boat
and point it Am7home,
we’ve still got Fsus2time.
CRaise your hopeful Fsus2voice,
you have a Am7choice
you’ll make it Fsus2now.
CFalling slowly, Fsus2eyes that know me,
Cand I can’t go back. Fsus2
And Cmoods that take me Fsus2and erase me
Cand I’m painted black. Fsus2
Well, Amyou have G6suffered enoFsus2ugh
and Gwarred with yourAmself,
it’s tG6ime that you Fadd9won…
CTake this sinking bFsus2oat and point it Am7home,
we’ve still got Fsus2time.
CRaise your hopeful Fsus2voice, you have a Am7choice
you’ll make it Fsus2now.
CFalling slowly, Fsus2sing your meloAm7dy,
I’ll sing it Fsus2loud.
