A Dsus2
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
Em11 Dsus2 A
With a flame and a book of signs.
Dsus2
You'll never know how hard I've failed
Em11 Dsus2 A
Trying to make up for lost time.
A Dsus2
Once I believed in things unseen
Em11 A
I was blinded by the dark.
Dsus2
Out of the multitude to me
Em11 Dsus2 A
He came and broke my heart.
Em11 Dsus2 A
When the dust in the field has flown,
Em11 Dsus2 A
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
Em11 Dsus2
And you doubt you will ever be free,
Riff1 Riff1
Don't bail on me.
A Dsus2
River is wide and oh so deep
Em11 Dsus2 A
And it winds and winds around.
Dsus2
I dream we're happy in my sleep
Em11 Dsus2 A
Floating down and down and down.
Dsus2 A
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
Em11 Dsus2 A
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
Em11 Dsus
And we're waiting for someone to see,
Riff1 Riff1
Don't bail on me.
A Dsus2
Tell ma I loved the man
Em11 Dsus2 A
Even though I turned and ran.
Dsus2
Lovely and fine I could have been
Em11 Dsus2 A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11 Dsus2 A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11 Dsus2 A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11 Dsus2 A
Staying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11 Dsus2 A
In the morning you wait for the sun,
Dsus2 Em11 A
And secretly hope it won't come,
Dsus2 Em11 Dsus2
But time washes everyone clean,
Riff1
Honey now, don't bail on me.
Riff1 Riff1
Don't bail on me.
Riff1 Riff1
Don't bail on me.
