Capo 1
Intro: G D Bm G
G D
He dreams that Neptune is a prophet and Jupiter, a healer
Bm G
And so wakes up thinking they are more than stars
G D
And he cannot tell the difference between a heartbeat and a wave
Bm G
He has a bad, bad sense of time
G D
And she's a queen, she gives beyond her means
Bm G
Too pure to see through his raggedy disguise
G D Bm
She cannot tell the difference between a photograph of lovers on a beach
G
and a man in rags and feathers in the trees
G D
She says, "Don't tie the blindfold quite so tight this time"
Bm G
He says, "Don't love me to death and I won't love you to death"
G D
She says, "I won't love you to death if you don't love me to death"
Bm G
He says, "I won't tie the blindfold quite so tight this time"
G D
And then he takes her by the elbow, back down towards the sea
Bm G
where they become two very old and senile sailors
G D
Going in and going out, and going in and going out,
Bm G
and going in and going out of the fog
G D Bm G x2
G D
Going in and going out again
Bm G
Going in and going out again
G D
Going in and going out again
Bm G
And going in and going out, and going in and going out,
G D
And going in and going out again
Bm G
Going in and going out again
G D
And going in and going out, and going in and going out,
Bm G G D Bm G
And going in and going out again of the fog
G D Bm G
