Intro: A (16)
A (4)
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
G
G/F# A (2)
With a flame and a book of signs.
A (2) Dsus2 (2)
You'll never know how hard I've failed
G G/F# A (2)
Trying to make up for lost time.
A (4)
Once I believed in things unseen
G G/F# A (2)
I was blinded by the dark.
A (2) Dsus2 (2)
Out of the multitude to me
G G/F# A (2)
He came and broke my heart.
D F A (2)
When the dust in the field has flown,
D F A (2)
And the youngest of hearts has grown,

And you doubt you will ever be free,
/ D - C / A - - /
Don't bail on me.
/ D - C / A - - /

River is wide and oh so deep
G G/F# A (2)
And it winds and winds around.

Dsus2 (2)
I dream we're happy in my sleep
G
G/F# A (2)
Floating down and down and down.
D F A (2)
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
D F A (2)
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
C#m F D (2)
And we're waiting for someone to see,
/ D - C / A - -
/
Don't bail on me.
/ D - C / A - -

Tell ma I loved the man

Even though I turned and ran.
A (2) Dsus2 (2)
Lovely and fine I could have been
G G/F# A (2)
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
G G/F# A (2)
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
G G/F# A (2)
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
G G/F# A (2)
Staying down in the palm of his hand.

In the morning you wait for the sun,

And secretly hope it won't come,

Honey now, don't bail on me.
