[Verse]
G/A Am
You brought me up and out of the water
G/A C
You brought me up to forget
Dm Am
I had ever been, I could ever breathe
F G Dm
In the water under your heart
[Verse]
Am G/A Am
Darkened your door and your days, you said
G/A C
You couldn't sleep the night
Dm Am
With the sound of the sea hard on my heels
F G Dm
Climbing the stairs to your bed
[Chorus]
Am F C
You promised me gloves from the skins of the fishes
Am F G
The smile of the dolphin for a ring in my hands
Am Em F C
You left me with nothing but a mouth full of air
Dm Em F
And a promise as wide as the ocean
[Verse]
Am G/A Am
You let me down for once and for all
G/A C
You left me out in the open
Dm Am
Under mackerel skies, high and dry
F G Dm
Out of the reach of our sea
[Verse]
Am G/A Am
Way out of reach and out of my depth
G/A C
I wear your love like a skin
Dm Am
That hurts when anyone touches me
F G Dm Em
Where you let me down for once and for all
F G Dm
Out of the reach of our sea
[Chorus]
Am F C
You promised me gloves from the skins of the fishes
Am F G
The smile of the dolphin for a ring in my hands
Am Em F C
You left me with nothing but a mouth full of air
Dm Em F
And a promise as wide as the ocean
