Intro: Cmaj7 G
 
G
Ease your feet off in the sea
Cmaj7
My darling, it's the place to be
G
Take your shoes off, curl your toes
Cmaj7
And I will frame this moment in time
G
Troubles come and troubles go
Cmaj7
The troubles that we used to know
G
Will stay with us until we get old
Cmaj7 D
Will stay with us until somebody decides to go
Cmaj7
Decides to go
 
Soberly, without regret, I make another sandwich
 
And I fill my face
 
I know that things have got to you
 
But what can I do?
 
Suddenly, without a warning
 
On a pale blue morning
 
You decide your time is wearing thin
 
A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling
Dm
Hovering
 
It's an emergency
 
There's no more "wait and see"
 
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
 
Maybe if I shut my eyes
 
Your trouble will be split between us
 
People come and people go
 
You're scouring everybody's face
 
For some small flicker of the truth
 
To what it is that you are going through, my boy
 
I left you dry
 
The signs were clear that you were not going anywhere
Dm
Anywhere
 
Save for a falling down, save for a falling down
 
Anywhere
Dm
Anywhere
 
Save for a falling down
 
Everything's going high.
 
Later on, as I walked home
 
The plough was showing, and Orion
 
I could see the house where you live
 
I could see the house where you give
 
All your time and sanity to people
 
Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you
 
They spoke in turn
 
But their eyes would pass over you
 
Over you
 
Who's seeing you at all?
 
Who's seeing you at all?
