Bbm
Don't look back to Cabo, noone there knows shit of Jesus
Ebm
He told me on the promenade, his bags packed years ago,
Ab Bbm
It's no fun to travel alone
[Verse]
Bbm
The sad sould from the mainland come to feed their feet to fishes
Ebm
And hope to find a token to hold time away from home
Ab Bbm
But there was never power in the stones
[Chorus]
Db Bbm
And you hold to your sadness like the ship you're on ain't sinking
Db Bbm
And take the lifeboat from the shore to return you to the sea
Ebm Ab
The Waves match your breathing
Ebm G3 Bbm
The Waves match your breathing
[Verse]
Bbm
Mary's busy watching all the boats come into harbor
Ebm
She never learned to play the bass and sing at the same time
Ab Bbm
She always held the music in her hands
[Chorus]
Db Bbm
And I keep my eyes forward, the horizon ever shifting
Db Bbm
And you hold fast to me to balance fears against your dreams
Ebm Ab
The Waves match your breathing
Ebm Ab
The Waves match your breathing
Ebm Ab
The Waves
Ebm Ab
Ebm Ab
Ebm Ab
