[Intro]
G (x4)
[Chorus]
G
To be running so far away
D C
To rely on the perfect stranger
D
True colours they suffer with age
G D
One look at the storm and fly straight on in
C
To the rain and thunder
D Em
Fool lover swept under the tide
[Verse 1]
Em D
The storm was gathering around them
Em D
He cast her off and put to sea
Em D
Well, he'd found somebody new to steer him
G
Through his dream
[Verse 2]
Em D
She sailed him all around her coastline
Em D
Every inlet every bay
Em
And though he knew it then
D
He was too afraid to say it
[Chorus]
G
To be running so far away
D C
To rely on the perfect stranger
D
True colours they suffer with age
G D
One look at the storm and fly straight on in
C
To the rain and thunder
D Em D
Fool lover swept under the tide
Em D
Swept under the tide
[Verse 3]
Em D
One day all alone he wai-ted
Em D
The silence crept beneath his door
Em D
And as the room grew dark he knew
G
She's come no more
[Chorus]
G
To be running so far away
D C
To rely on the perfect stranger
D
True colours they suffer with age
G D
One look at the storm and fly straight on in
C
To the rain and thunder
D Em D
Fool lover swept under the tide
Em D
Swept under the tide
[Bridge]
G D C D
Drifting in the dead of night
G D C D
Show me landfall give me light
[Chorus]
G
To be running so far away
D C
To rely on the perfect stranger
D
True colours they suffer with age
G D
One look at the storm and fly straight on in
C
To the rain and thunder
D Em D
Fool lover swept under the tide
Em G
Swept under the tide
[Outro]
G (x4)
G
Swept under the tide
