Seas Too Far To Reach Chords

(ver. 2)
Okkervil River
Pt I.
      A                      D
The ladies in my dream- so obliging.
      E                              A     E
They come on down to do the things I need.
         A                            D
Whether skies are calm or cut apart by lightning,
        E                           A
They?re always there to minister to me.

Pt. II

     F#m                              A
And at break of dawn, they?re sweetly shining.
     F#m                          E                          D
Or at quiet of midnight, cold and dim,  They say ?don?t harm him.?
           E                                A     D
And when I wake just as their eyes are crying,
          F#m                                E
I see that bed and I just want to climb back in.

Pt. III

     F#m                    D                 A                E
But let?s gather up your friends and drive up to that country inn.
     F#m                    D            A                E
We can stay there, feeling water warmly wash across our skin,
     D                   E                   A
Giving back all of our tears so that we can cry them again.

Pt. I
     A                                         D
You want to tell your dad you can?t believe he?s dying,
               E                                  A     E
But let?s just walk on down the hall and shut our mouths.
        A                       D
The AM radio is broken down and crying
             E                            A
As on this hour drive we?re silent to ourselves.

Pt. II

   F#m                                      A
Let?s go back up to your house, and take our clothes off.
   F#m                                       E            D
And just push and pull ourselves until we?re deep inside of sleep.
               E                              A          D
And with your body next to me, its sleepy sighing
            F#m                           E
Sounds like waves upon a sea too far to reach.

Pt. III ( with slight differences)

     F#m              D              A            E
But I?ll gather up my men and try to sail on it again,
     F#m                    D                   A                E
And we?ll walk and quietly talk all through the country of your skin,
           F#m             D                 A                E
Made up of pieces of the places that you?ve dreamed and that you?ve been.
             D                 A               F#M              E
And we will sleep outside in tents upon this unfamiliar land,
            D             E                 F#m                 D
And in the morning we?ll awake, yeah, as a foreign dawning breaks,
           A          E                          A
My men and I will all awake. Let's try again.
