C                  Am                   C  
  You're lost on a sea that you sailed on 
         Am                       C 
Now its cold and rough where you are 

It's a harsh wind blowing 
               G 
But I did not cause this storm you see 
                F         Am 
I've just been here, open-armed 
    G 
Invitingly 

           C                        Am 
I've been alone on this sea for so long 
             F                    Am 
I wanted to touch, I had to feel love 
C               G            C 
  Before these waves took me under 

G                                Am 
But Aden you came to me in the dark 
       G 
In the dark 
G 
And as gentle as a siren can be 
    Am              G 
I caught you and I held you down 

           C 
Oh if the pink light of morning 
                    Am 
Would wash all the demons out of here 
          F                Am 
I could lie down on your ground 
    C                G 
And pull my body near 

             C                      Am 
But all the knots in my stomach are telling 
                    F 
There's no where to rest 
                    Am 
There's no place to go 
            C             G 
And the shadows they keep on 
           Am 
With their shanty song 

( F  Am  C  G ) 
( F  Am  C  G  G ) 

Am                                           G 
   It's the darkest horse that's chasing me down 
Am 
   And the gods here have no care 
          G 
Where you go when you drown 

F             Am                      C 
I've been mistaken for something I'm not 
                G 
For something I wished I could be 
F           Am 
 Pretty and fine 
                 C 
I'd draw the line 
                 G 
At just singing soothingly 

F                 Am 
 But I've been a liar 
            C 
I have been ugly 
         G 
I can be ugly 

( F  Am  C  G ) 
( F  Am  C  G ) 

           F                       Am 
And we'll join the Venture and the Morning Star 
        C               G 
Singing haul away my laddie-o 

( F  Am  C  G ) 
( F  Am  C  G ) 

C                  Am                  C 
  You're lost on a sea that you sailed on 
         Am 
Now its cold and rough
