[Intro 1]
[Em][B]
[Em]
This [A]town,

[Verse 1]
[Em]
this stain on the sunrise
Disguised in the [Am]mist, this morning.
[Dsus4]It's 8 AM, a s[D]eagull[G] shouts[F#m]
[A]A sail[B] or's wa[Em]rning, this sk[A]y.[Em]

[Verse 2]
This bend in [Em]the river
Slows down and de[Am]livers me
[Dsus4]The tide rolls bac[D]k
And [G]all my [F#m]memor [B]ies fade
to black[C#dim].

[Verse 3]
[Am]And yet,
[C]An [Dsus4]d yet...
[Em]I'm back
[C#dim]This

[Verse 4]
town has a strange
[B]mag[D#aug]netic pull
Like [B]a homing sig[D#aug]nal
in [A]your skull[B][A]
[C#dim]And you s[Em]ail by the stars
[C#dim]of the hemispher[A]e
Wondering [Em]how in the hell [C#dim]did
you en[Em]d up here?
[G]It's like

[Verse 5]
[Am]an underground [Dsus4]river or
a hidden [D]stream[Dsus4]
[D]That flows [C#dim]through your head
and haunts your [C]dream
And [Am]you stuffed those dream
[Dsus4]s in this canvas sack
And there's [G]nothing round [A]here
[F#m]that t[B]he wide world lacks.

[Verse 6]
[Am]And [Dsus4]yet,
[D]An [Dsus4]d yet...
[Em]You're back

[Verse 7]
Some [A]night I'd [B]lie on
the deck and I'd stare
At the turn[A]ing of [D#aug]the stars[A]
[C#dim]Those con[Em]stellations hanging up the[A]re
From [Em]the cables and [C#dim]the riggi[Em]ng[A]

[Verse 8]
I [Am]wonder if she saw [D]the same
[C#dim]or man aged to recall my na[C]me
Why [Am]would she ever think [Dsus4]of me,
some [G]boy she [F#m]loved who [B]fled to sea?
And [Am]why waste time d[Bm]ebating
[D]Whether she[C]'d be waiting for[F#dim] the[F#m]
[Bm]likes [B]of [Em]me?
[C#dim][A][C#dim][Em]

[Verse 9]
[C#dim]
[Em]So you d[A]rift into port w[D#aug]ith
[B]the scum of the [D#aug]seas
[A]To the dance [B]halls and the brothels where
you took [D#aug]your ease!
[Em]And the ship's left [C#dim]the dock,
[Em]but you're half past c[C#dim]aring[A]
And you haven't got a [C#dim]clue
whose [Em]bed [A]you're sharing.

[Verse 10]
And your [A]head's like [Am]a hammer
on a bulkhead [Dsus4]door
And it feels [C#dim]like somebody might
[Em]have broken your [C]jaw
And there's blood[Am]stains and
glass all over [Dsus4]the floor
And [G]you swear to [F#m]god
ye'll [B]drink no more.

[Verse 11]
And [Am]yet,
And [Dsus4]yet...[D][F#m][A][B][Em]
In truth
It's [A]too late to [Em]find her
Too [A]late to remind

[Verse 12]
[Am]her
at some garden [Dsus4]gate
[D]Where a servan[C#dim]t
tells me I should [C]wait
And [Am]perhaps a door's slammed
in my [D]face[Dsus4][D]
My [G]head must [F#m]be in out[B]er space.

[Verse 13]
An[Am]d yet,
An[Dsus4]d yet
Be[C#dim]fore the sun has set[C]
Be[Am]fore the [Bm]sea there
may [C]be something else
[Am]That's waiting for t[F#dim]he likes[F#m] of me.[Bm][B][A]
