Intro Am C G Am (x4)
verse 1
Am C G Am
I came to this world in a seaside town
Am C G Am
where the water could cool your broken body out
Am C G Am
I learned you can rise over the cards in your hand
Am C G Am
Mama was a woman and a hard-workin' man
Am C G Am
Now everyone I know had to make their own bed
Am C G Am
Try to do as good as their fathers did for them
Am C G Am
I never knew mine so I bandaged the hurt
Am C G Am
I pretended that my daddy was a bank robber
Pre-Chorus
F G Am F
Say ooh-ooh-ooh (s-s-say)
F G Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh
F G Am
Oh but you, you always said,
C G F
"you're just too good a ship to wreck."
Am
You said, "never mind nothin',
F
there's a summertime humming
C G
once the bandages come off."
F G Am
Yes, and you always believed
C G F
there was some kind of diamond in me
Am F
Oh but if you still burn every night in the hurt,
C G
I know a place where the pain doesn't reach
Am C G
Come wander with me
Am C G Am
Come wander with me
verse 2
Am C G Am
Now I tried to believe but it's so hard to know
Am C G Am
How to do right, Rudy, with the seeds that we've sown
Am C G Am
But the voices are loud and the miles are long
Am C G Am
And heroes are a hard thing to find when you're gone
Pre-Chorus
F G Am F
So say ooh-ooh-ooh (s-say)
F G Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh
F G Am
Oh but you, you always said,
C G F
"you're just too good a ship to wreck."
Am
You said, "never mind nothin',
F
there's a summertime humming
C G
once the bandages come off."
F G Am
Yes, and you always believed
C G F
there was some kind of diamond in me
Am F
Oh but if you still burn every night in the hurt,
C G
I know a place where the pain doesn't reach
Am C G
Come wander with me
Am C G Am
Come wander with me
Bridge
Am
Now I hope the things that trouble me,
G
they don't catch you or put you on your knees
C F
But I found out time and work don't make you a man
Am
Because time didn't teach me anything,
G
and the working only broke my hands
C F
And when someday came I did not understand
Am C G Am
U-understand,
Am C G Am
understand
F G Am
Oh but you, you always said,
C F
"you're just too good a ship to wreck."
Am
You said, "never mind nothin',
F
there's a summertime humming
C G
once the bandages come off."
F G Am
Yes, and you always believed
C G F
there was some kind of diamond in me
Am F
Oh but if you still burn every night in the hurt,
C G
I know a place where the pain doesn't reach
C
Come wander with me
