[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Fog _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ lifts from the harbor, [E] dawn goes down to den,
[Am] An agent crests the shadows [F] of a nearby alleyway. _
_ [C] The broken bricks, _ [E] _
signposts on the path, [Am] _ Every moment points toward [F] the _ afterlife.

Sailors _
[Bm] _ [C] _ _ [Em] _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ straggle back, [E] their knights out on the town,
[Am] _
Hopeless urchins from the city [F] _ gather round, [C] Spies from imperial China.
_ [E]
Wash in with the tide, [A] every battle heads to war,
_ [F] Surrender on both sides, and I [C] am coming [Am] home to you. _ _

_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [C]
Bells ring in the tower, _ [E] wolves howl in the hills,
[G] [Am] Chalk marks show up on a few [F] high window sills,

_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [G] Ships [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _

loosed from their moorings, [Em] [E] capsize and then they're gone,
[G] _ [Am] Sailors with no captains, [F] vod, move island, then move on,
[C] And an agent crests the shadows, [E] and I head in her direction.
[G] [A] All rods lead to war, [F] the same plot, the same intention,
I [C] am coming _ [Am] home to you.
