Verse:
       G    Bm             Gbm    D
My bloodhound, baying at your door,
    G         Bm              Gbm         D 
With wild grass, overlapping the front porch.
     G                Bm         Gbm      D
The sound of scratching claws, trimmed short,
     G             Bm    Gbm      D 
Keeps you buttoned up, on the floor.
  D                  G
And you're reduced to howls,
  D                  G
And I'm not there to drown them out.
  D                G
Swallowing up the room
G
Letting yourself down
Bm                 D                G
Darling, I'll be fine (The hiccups my mouth emits)
Bm                   D                  G
I've left behind my calluses (This solicitude I won't forgive)
Bm                   D                 G
I'll be whatever you like (All of this inside my head)
Bm                     D                  G
I'll be whatever you like (Your seafaring love to the shore)

G                       D
When the tide rolled in there was nothing left
G                     D
But an albatross hanging from my neck
G                     D 
And just as you could not contain the sea
G                   D
You could not contain me

                 Bm     Gbm   G   A D
Oh, pure heart's peer caught me gawking
                 Bm      Gbm   G    A        D
Your hair in the wind, such small lonesome hands
               Bm  Gbm  G    A    D
I think I was meant to keep you warm
                   A
It was bigger than me
                       D
It was bigger than the sea
        G   A-Bm    G   A Bm             D A Bm
And I'm not waving I'm drowning, I'm drowning.
                               D A G
I felt your waves calming comely
                               D A Bm
Lights on as is angles casting sides
                               D A G
Infinity and all watered the moon
                               D A Bm
It was more than I could.... care

                               D A G
I felt your waves calming come
                                   D A Bm
Lights on as is angles casting sides
                                  D A G
Infinity and all watered the moon
                                D A Bm
And I'm not waving I'm drowning.

              G       A   Bm   A  D
I felt your weights crushing contours,
              G       A  Bm         A       D
And I felt cascades, ripping, right through me.
               G       A      Bm
My brightest love sent from tundras
A              D
Your Arctic touch
 D                                   A             
My brightest love it was more than I shared
                         D A Bm
It was more than you cared
                                D A G
I felt your waves calming comely
                                    D A Bm
Lights on as is angles casting sides
                                D A G
Infinity and all watered the moon,
                                D A Bm
And I'm not waving I'm drowning.
