Intro: Am G D Am G D
Am G D6 D
Wasn’t a cloud in the sky when the news arrived,
Am G D
Just another bluebird day,
G D
Just a voice on the phone saying I’m sorry,
Am G D
Everything falls away.
Am G D6 D A
So I went down to the sea to look for you,
Am C6 G D
Found the moon and the Milky Way,
G D
Watched the tide take back what it gave to me,
Am G D
Everything falls away,
D Am G D
Everything falls away.
G C
I live in the fear that my heart will break,
F/C C6
I look for the thing that’ll cure the ache,
G C/G G D
Just one thing that the world can’t take away,
G C/G G
I want to dive beneath the undertow,
G F/C C
Down to the bones of the earth below,
G F D D7 Am G
I want to know, I want to know, where did you go?
D Am G D
Where did you go?
Am G D
I saw you so clear in a dream last night,
Am G6 G D
Diving from the cliffs at Echo Bay,
G D
The arc and the pause and the slow descent,
Am Gmaj7 D
Everything falls away,
Am G D D/E G D A
Everything.
