these places that i dwell

F
so let me count the waves
C
as they move through my eyes
Dm
there’s a darkness in these days

let me count the waves
C
as i step into the light
Dm
there’s a darkness in the day
A#
in the california light
A#
there’s a darkness in the way

darkness
F
how you know me so well
C
always know my name
A#
as i whisper to myself

Dm
darkness
F

C
as i move in through this life
A#
cast shadows on the way

F
and i count the waves
C
coming in on the tide
Dm
and the birds out in the bay
A#
on the docks at night

F
let me count the waves
C
as i step in from the light
Dm
there’s a darkness in the day
A#
and a darkness in the light
