[E] See my ships, they're sailing in and out of the [A] harbor.
Will they go together or must they stay [E] apart?
Yes, I know it's in my heart.
Surely you see what's inside of me.
Jesus is coming soon.
[A] I can hear Gabriel blow [D] his trump.
[E]
This I know, this I know.
Marlowe is coming soon.
[A] [E]
Mercy, mercy me.
[Em] [A] Marvin Gaye, he was shy.

Cold came, my cheap thrill.
Cold came.
Cold came, my cheap thrill.
Cold came, became, became.
Cold, oh my shame.
Cold, oh my shame.
Cold came, my cheap thrill.
Cold came, made the Devil cold.
Came to my death.
Mama, I need water, I need one thirst
See, see, see my ships, they're sailing in and out of the harbor
[A] Will they go together, must they stay [E] apart?
Yes, I know it's in my heart
Surely, surely, [A] [E] surely, surely you'll see what's inside of me
