Salt On Your Skin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I can feel myself sinking
[Fsus2]back to the earth
[G]Each new idea seems to
[Am]make it much worse
Maybe death is a mask for some
[Fsus2]kind of rebirth
It's [G]dragging me slow through the [Am]mud
I'm [C]driving through
Holland in [G]the middle of the night
[Am]The [G]rain's b[C]lowing fie[G]rcely
[Am]over the dykes
Over the sea,
I can't [F]just make [Fsus2]out the lights
But I [G]don't know how deep is your [Am]love
Well I [G]look over yonder and [Am]what do I see
A [G]big band of angels [Am]singing to me
They wave to come closer but there
[F]ain't time you [Fsus2]see
My be[Gsus4]low has n[G]o use for abov[Am]e
I've [F]been so many [Fsus2]places,
where do [G]I begin
As [C]soon as it's [G]over, it [Am]starts up again
All I re[F]member of [Fsus2]you,
as the [G]memory grows thin
Are the [C]tears in the [G]dark and the
[Fsus2]salt on your[Am] skin
Well I never played
Hamlet but I [F]learned [Fsus2]some good lines
[G]How good is timeless when
you're [Am]running out of time
Why does life with a reason get
[F]tricked by [Fsus2]a rhyme?
What's the [Gsus4]trick of not tur[G]ning bac[Am]k?
I [C]ask you how far, [G]how far does far [C]go?
Where this crossroad [G]ends,
baby, [Am]I'll never know
I never was one to
[Fsus2]get knocked off the road
But [Gsus4]I sometimes lost
[G]sight of the [Am]track
[G]Search[Gsus4]ing the b[G]order,
why [Am]search anymore?
It's [G]shrouded in a mist
like a faraway shore
[Am]Well, I don't even know where
we're [F]is [Fsus2]anymore
And I [Gsus4]wouldn't know fiction from [Am]fact
I've [F]been so many places,
[Fsus2]how do I begi[G]n?
[C]Soon as it's [G]over[C], i[G]t s[Am]tarts up again
All I re[F]member of you,
[Fsus2]as the memory gr[G]ows thin
[C]are the[G] tea[Gsus4]rs in the[G] dark
and the [F]salt [Fsus2]on your s[Am]kin.
Well, you made a sad smile when
I [F]touched your [Fsus2]face,
tra[G]cing lines with my
fingers I [Am]couldn't replace.
I pointed to blue skies big
[Fsus2]ger than space,
But I [Gsus4]knew that you only saw [G]rain[Am]
Some [C]get so tired and [G]sick of romance
[C]Some are unlucky c[G]ause
they [Am]never had the chance
For some love is just the
[F]heat of the dance
[Fsus2]You sleepwalk [Gsus4]and you
slow through [G]the [Am]flames
The [G]sky [C]is [G]sending messages in[Am]to the air
I don't [G]know [Gsus4]many plac[G]es,
I'd know anywhere
[Am]When the dealer dealt danger,
I was [F]getting my [Fsus2]share
But there's [Gsus4]no point
in [G]talking about [Am]that
I've [F]been so many [Fsus2]places,
how do [G]I begin?
Soon [C]as it's [G]over, [Am]it starts up again
All I re[F]member of [Fsus2]you is
the [Gsus4]memory gr[G]ows thin
[Gsus4]Are the t[C]ears in the dark[G]
and the [Fsus2]salt on your[Am] skin
Salt on your skin

[Outro 1]
On your skin
[Am]
