Capo 4
G D Em C
Oh....
G D
Tie me up against the mast and shield the sunlight from my eyes
Em C
I no longer can resist the haunting of her cries
G
They call me from the jagged rock
D
It was the sweetest melody
Em C
Like gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of God
G D
I feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wings
Em C
I feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me
[Refrão]
G D Em
But I can almost taste happiness
C
It's such a long way off
G D Em
But I can almost feel your embrace
C
Above the siren's call
G D Em C
Oh....
G
Now it's not beautiful or pure
D
But it exists beyond the shore
Em C
It struggles to be heard above the screeching of her call
G
Beneath my feet a rumbling
D
A hundred demons clambering
Em C
They chase away my harmony and make love afraid to call
G D
They grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea
Em
No they will not be silenced
C
Never for you or me
[Refrão]
G D Em
But I can almost taste happiness
C
It's such a long way off
G D Em
But I can almost feel your embrace
C
Above the siren's call
G D Em C 2x
Oh....
G
And I've seen a hint of it
D
This happiness
This bliss
Em C
Just knowing it exists I know that I must try
G
And I've caught a glimpse of it
D
One moment just one kiss
Em
From the corner of my eye
C
Of better days gone by
G D Em C
But I can almost taste happiness....ohhh
G D Em C
But I can almost feel your embrace...
