Bm           D                         Bm
well, it's a long way out to reach the sea 
             D                               Bm
but I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me 
            D                     A
and by the time I blink, I'll see your wild arms swinging 
         Bm                          G
just to meet me in the middle of the road 
           Bm                                G
and you'll hold me like you'll never let me go 
        Bm                           A
and beside the salty water, I could hold you close, 
            D                    Bm
but you are far too beautiful to love me

[Verse 2]
       D                        Bm
it's a long climb up the dusty mountain 
           D                    Bm 
to build a turret tall enough to keep you out 
             D                           A
but when you wage your wars against the one who adores you, 
            Bm                           G
then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth 
         Bm                        G
but I've never been a wealthy one before 
         Bm                      A
I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold, 
                D                       Bm
and I think I'm far too poor for you to want me

[Verse 3]
            D                         Bm
it's been a long road, losing all I've owned 
              D                              Bm
and you don't know what you've got until you're gone 
            D                     A
and it's a nasty habit, spending all you have, but 
            Bm                                G
when you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost 
            Bm                                   G
and if you leave before the start, then there was never love at all
            Bm                                G
and heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should have loved,
               D                     Bm
and yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
