[Em] [Am]
This could be [G] the sex [D] I've ever [Em] seen
To turn [Am] into a miracle
[G] Half a [D]
life
[Em] My [Am] mind keeps racing
[A] [G]
[D] Slowly, slow
[Em] My hands tired, my [Am]
heart aches
[G] From half a world [D] away
Here my [Em]
head swarms
[F] Go it along, hold it [G] along
[D] Hold it along, hold it
[F] Go it along, hold it along
[G] [D] Oh, oh, oh
Oh, [G] this lonely deep [D]-sleep hollow

half a world [G] away
[D] My shoes are gone, my [Em]
lights
I've [Am]
[G] had too much to [D]

[Em] Pathetic eyes
[Am] [D] I'm [G]
[D] tired [Em] to see
[C]
The [D] [G] storm that came up [D] strong
[Em]
Sinked the trees [Am] and blew away our [G] fear
[D]
Couldn't be even [Em] here
Go [F] it [G] along, hold it [G] along
[D] Hold it along, hold it
[F]
Go it along, hold it along
[D] Oh, oh, oh
Go [F] it along, hold it along
[D]
Hold it along, hold it
[F] Backwards, backwards, forwards and forwards
[D] Oh, oh, [D]
oh
Oh, [G] this could be the saddest us [Em] ever seen
[Am]
Shimmer, [G] shimmer, pearl
[D] High [Em] and alive
[C] My
[D] mind [G] is racing
[D]
[Em] So not as will [Am] my hands
[D] Tired, [G] my heart aches
[D] I have the world to [Em] make
[Am] Go
