Verse 1:

G C
I know a way to kill the ripple from your touch
G C
And what if I can only settle for much?
D Em7
It stays with you
D G C
You’re like a sky so drizzly

That I want
D Em7 D G C
‘Till I take it out on you
Bm7 Bm C
Show me how to keep you in

Chorus:

G
You be good to me
D C
And I, I’ll be good to you
D
Don’t let go of your light
Bm
It’s your best friend in the world
C A7
I hope you’ll learn what Heaven knows
C
Who cares if I go?

G

Verse 2:

G C
I know a way to tell the middle from the start
G C
And what if telling makes the brittle fall apart?
D Em7 D G C
In time although my hair turns grey and grizzly
D
Stay with me

Chorus:

G
So we cursed a lot
D C
And I’m ashamed of walking out
D Bm
Oh it’s just too bad, we got stuck in the past
C A7
We’re hiding there in silence now
C
It sounds familiar
G
You be good to me
D C
And I, I’ll be good to you
D
I’m off to work
Bm C
But I don’t see you turn

And I’m ashamed of walking out
D Bm
And my thoughts are wrought with a shortsighted secret

And missing you
A7 C
Why do you cry, Paddy?

Long as I’ve been alive

Old as I am

I’ve still no plan

I was counting my steps
