Tom: A

A                      D9
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
        Em11        D9    A
With a flame and a book of signs.
                      D9
You'll never know how hard I've failed
      Em11           D9   A
Trying to make up for lost time.



A                   D9
Once I believed in things unseen
           Em11   A
I was blinded by the dark.
                D9
Out of the multitude to me
    Em11     D9     A
He came and broke my heart.



          Em11        D9      A
When the dust in the field has flown,
          Em11        D9      A
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
         Em11        D9    
And you doubt you will ever be free,
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me.



A                   D9
River is wide and oh so deep
        Em11      D9    A
And it winds and winds around.
               D9
I dream we're happy in my sleep
          Em11    D9     A
Floating down and down and down.



                    D9         A
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
         Em11       D9           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          D9
Tell ma I loved the man
      Em11     D9      A
Even though I turned and ran.
                   D9
Lovely and fine I could have been
Em11                D9       A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11                D9       A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11                D9       A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11                D9       A
Staying down in the palm of his hand.



Em11              D9          A
In the morning you wait for the sun,
      D9   Em11          A
And secretly hope it won't come,
     D9        Em11     D9
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.
