[F] [D]
[G] [F] [A] In the [G] morning I was [C] by the sea
And [Am] I swam out [D] as far as I could swim
Until I was too [Em] tired to swim [B] anymore
And then I floated

[F] [Dm] And then an [G] empty box [C] came [A] floating by
[D]
[G] An empty box [F] and I crawled [E] inside
[Dm] Half [G] in the [C] shadows
Half [E] in the [Dm] husky moonlight
[D] And [Am] [D]
[G] half in [C] the same just [A] the sound [Dm] in the night
[D] [Am] [D] Half in [G] the shadows
[C] Half in [Am] the husky [Dm] moonlight
