Am
verse 1:
Am
There were eyes on us,
C A#
Parents advising us
C Am
Oh, we pretended
G
Not to hear
Am
Take your time on us,
C A#
Ripen the vine of us
C Am
Oh but you whisper
G
In my ear:
Am Em C G
"In the Sea of Love there ain't no tides -
Dm Em C B
In the clutching fist of time, we'll survive"
[Refrão]
B7 G
My light never burned that bright,
D A G6
But I know a sign when I see it
F Em
Now you know
verse 2:
Am
If the will in me,
C A#
blinks like a ship at sea,
C
It doesn't mean
Am G
I'm uncertain - just afraid
Am
You like the sound of love,
C A#
Of drinking the dragon's blood
C Am G
Oh, but you might not like the taste
Am Em C G
In the sea of love there ain't no tides
Dm Em C B
In the clutching fist of time, we'll survive
[Refrão]B7 G
My light never burned that bright,
D A
But I know a sign when I see you
C G
It darkens my door when I need you
F Em
Now you know
Am G Am G
Am Em C G
In a sea of love that sees no tides,
Dm Em C B
where the clutching fist of time is a vice
B7 G
My light never burned that bright,
D A
But I know a sign when I see you
C G
It darkens my door when I need you
F Em
Now you know
Great song!
