Fmaj7 Am Em x3
Fmaj7
verse 1
Am E
Well the wind went west, she poured my drink,
Fmaj7 C
Following the stars home (?)
Am E
Couldn't find no love from the angels above
Fmaj7 C
Nor the devil down below
Am E
Through all the sorrow, and every barlow (?)
Fmaj7 C
Stolen from the blackest hole
Am E
Through the wind and the hail, we fumbled and failed
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 G
Steady as we go, steady as we go
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 C
And these amulets falling days
G Am
For you my stage, stage (?)
Fmaj7 C G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
Am Fmaj7 C G Am
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Fmaj7 C Riff 1
verse 2
Am E
And the hurricane came, she borrowed my name,
Fmaj7 C
Swollen she crept my way
Am E
Neither rich nor the poor couldn't find no cure
Fmaj7 C Am
For this stolen thing (?)
E
We mumbled on, like a big time song,
Fmaj7 C
Quiet, holy and slow
Am E
We tossed our backs, she tightened our straps,
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 E
Steady as we go, steady as we go
[Refrão]
Am Fmaj7 C G
Alright, okay, now I know
Am Fmaj7 C G
Here in the hems of the hands that roll the bones
Am G C E
That water, she's high, and the only one who knows
Am E Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
Fmaj7 Am Em X3
Fmaj7
verse 3
Am E
Well the hills of gold, so haunted now
Fmaj7 C
Found comfort near the firelight
Am E
All the stories we told, turned us cold
Fmaj7 G
Nothing's right
Am E
We're lost, we're lost in flame
Fmaj7 C
Made a map from the power lines
Am E
Oh the city down below let the factory show (?)
Fmaj7 C
The words shined
Fmaj7 G
Steady as we die
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 C
And these amulets falling days,
G Am
For you my stage, stage
Fmaj7 C G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
Am Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Am Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Am Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in
Am Fmaj7 C E
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
[Refrão]
Am Fmaj7 C G
Alright, okay, now I know
Am Fmaj7 C G
Here in the hems of the hands that roll the bones
Am G C E
And that water she's high, and the only one who knows
Am E Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
Am E Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
Am E Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
