G
Your face by the half light
D4/G
The corridor in silence
G D4/G
A heavier weight in every move I've made
G
The storm left me
C7M G D4/G
Crawling from the wreckage
G
I glimpsed faith in their eyes
D4/G
I dreamed through the dawn
G D4/G G
Let the paper boat against a tidal wake
C7M
Take me to wear the Sun
G
Then I'll be gone
A7 B7
And all that was stranded inside yourself
Em Em7/B A7
Is bursting and reaching the sea line
Am7
All set to sail
C G
Heading to no shore I'll rise
( G D4/G G )
( D4/G C7M G )
( A7 B7 Em )
( Em7/B A7 )
( Am7 C G )
G
Once I ran to not be hurt
D4/G
Effortless days
G D4/G G
I thought it was calm in my chest
C7M
But now it seems that I fell asleep
G
To not bleed
A7 B7
And all that was stranded inside yourself
Em Em7/B A7
Is bursting and reaching the sea line
Am7
All set to sail
C G
Heading to no shore I'll rise
( G D4/G G )
( D4/G C7M G )
( A7 B7 Em )
( Em7/B A7 )
( Am7 C G )
C
All set to sail

Heading to no shore
Em Em7/B A7
I'll rise as the claimer of my life
Am7
Just so to rest this heart
C G
The deepest ocean is time
