G                     Csus2
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
       Em11        Csus2   G
With a flame and a book of signs.
                      Csus2
You'll never know how hard I've failed
          Em11    Csus2    G
Trying to make up for lost time.




G                  Csus2
Once I believed in things unseen
      Em11           G
I was blinded by the dark
                Csus2
Out of the multitude to me,
   Em11     Csus2    G
He came and broke my heart




         Em11        Csus2     G
When the dust in the field has flown,
        Em11        Csus2      G
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
        Em11           Csus2    
And you doubt you will ever be free,
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me




G                 Csus2
River is wide and oh so deep,
       Em11      Csus2  G
And it winds and winds around
                    Csus2
I dream we're happy in my sleep,
         Em11     Csus2    G
Floating down and down and down




        Em11        Csus2       G
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
         Em11      Csus2          G
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
          Em11        Csus2     
And we're waiting for someone to see,
Riff1               Riff1
Don't bail on me




G         Csus2
Tell ma I loved the man
     Em11     Csus2      G
Even though I turned and ran
                  Csus2
Lovely and fine I could have been
Em11               Csus2       G
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Em11               Csus2       G
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Em11               Csus2       G
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Em11                Csus2       G
Staying down in the palm of his hand




       Em11        Csus2        G
In the morning you wait for the sun,
    Csus2    Em11          G
And secretly hope it won't come,
    Csus2       Em11     Csus2
But time washes everyone clean,
              Riff1
Honey now, don't bail on me
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me
