Dm Dm/C
he’s just the kind of man
A#6
you hear about
Em9 A7
who leaves his family
Dm Am7
for an easy out
Dm Dm/C
they never saw the signs
A#6
he never said a word
Em9 A7 Dm Am7
he couldn’t take another day

Dm Dm/A# C A7
carry me to the shoreline
Dm Dm/A# C A7
bury me in the sand
Dm Dm/A# C A7
walk me across the water
A# Csus4 C
and maybe you’ll understand

F A#
once the stone
Csus4
you’re crawling under
F A# Csus4
is lifted off your shoulders
F A# Csus4
once the cloud that’s raining
A7 Dm Dm/C
over your head disappears
G
the noise that you’ll hear
A# Csus4
is the crashing down of hollow years

( F Dm F/A# Csus4 )

Dm Dm/C
she’s not the kind of girl
A#6
you hear about
Em9 A7
she’ll never want another
Dm Am7
she’ll never be without
Dm Dm/C
she’ll give you all the signs
A#6
she’ll tell you everything
Em9 A7 Dm Am7
then turn around and walk away

Dm Dm/A# C A7
carry me to the shoreline
Dm Dm/A# C A7
bury me in the sand
Dm Dm/A# C A7
walk me across the water
A# Csus4 C
and maybe you’ll understand

F A#
once the stone
Csus4
you’re crawling under
F A# Csus4
is lifted off your shoulders
F A# Csus4
once the cloud that’s raining
A7 Dm Dm/C
over your head disappears
G
the noise that you’ll hear
A# Csus4
is the crashing down of hollow years
