sailor song
first aid kit

D G
with the first light and the little
A D
fragile moon
D G
i was out on the porch now
A D
i’m ready for doom
G A D
and it’s funny how it all came to be
G A D
the way you so plainly chose to stare at me

D G
and the afternoon embraces you
A D
like a million worried hands
D G
and i want to look forward
A D
go discover foreign land
G A
in the mirror i was balancing
D
on tiny strings
G A
it looks silly but oh really it’s just
D
a physical thing

D G
so tell me why you ask me
A D
to do as i please
D G
i would rather fall backwards
A D
and forget everything
G A
and i’ve tried to call on you when
D
i know you’re not home
G A
i’m not ready for this but it’s
D
the way it goes

G A D x2

D G
it was easier when i knew
A D
nnothing of what i’d missed
D G
you’re so happy i can see it and that’s
A D
the worst part of it
G A
so let her take you out
D
on sea
G A
i will wave to you from the harbor
D
oh little silly me

Em A
the sailors leave in the morning
Dm A
i’ll be waiting for you all night
Em A
the ship sets off in the morning
Em A
i’ll be waiting for you all right
A Em
oh night
A Em
oh night
A Em
oh night
A
oh night
