Intro
D Bm x2
(Start on last Bm)
Bm D Bm
well, it's a long way out to reach the sea
D Bm
but I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me
D A
and by the time I blink, I'll see your wild arms swinging
Bm G
just to meet me in the middle of the road
E G
and you'll hold me like you'll never let me go
E G
and beside the salty water, I could hold you close,
D Bm
but you are far too beautiful to love me
D Bm
D Bm
it's a long climb up the dusty mountain
D Bm
to build a turret tall enough to keep you out
D A
but when you wage your wars against the one who adores you,
Bm G
then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth
E G
but I've never been a wealthy one before
E G
I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold,
D Bm
and I think I'm far too poor for you to want me

D Bm
it's been a long road, losing all I've owned
D Bm
and you don't know what you've got until you're gone
D A
and it's a nasty habit, spending all you have, but
Bm G
when you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost
Bm G
and if you leave before the start, then there was never love at all
Bm G
and heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should have loved,
D Bm
and yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
