[Intro]
E A x2
E
[Verse 1]
C#m E A
I said I am no evil man then I paused
E
As if convinced of what that meant
C#m E
Well I brace myself and face my doubts
A
Not surprised but unprepared
E
For such an arduous descent
A E
And if I ever knew I loved you it was then
C#m E
I said don't you hide your eyes from me
A E
I will wreck your guesswork worries one by one
C#m E
When they're buried in some deep dark sea
A E
You'll be mine and so my mind had spun and spun
A E
But it was over by the time it had begun
[Chorus]
A E
Ooh, ooh
A E
Ooh, ooh
A E B A
Ooh
[Verse 2]
C#m E
You said I will not chase these storms
A E
While our tongues gave all our wickedness away
C#m A
And I said ours will be no hollow home
A E
No, made of stone these walls alone won't keep you safe
A E
And with each downpour we discover what it takes
[Chorus]
A E
Ooh, ooh
A E
Ooh, ooh
A E B A Am
Ooh
E C#m B A E
[Verse 3]
C#m E
Well I said how can I carry on?
A E
All these waves don't make a sailor out of me
C#m E
You'll set out with the morning sun
A E B A
I'm alone and slow to gather up my leaves
A E
Up in arms, it's just the god of thinning dreams
[Chorus]
A E A E
Carolina, Carolina
A E B A Am
Dare I say these words for you
E B A E
I don't speak unless I mean to
[Verse 4]
C#m E
Someone told me all your sails were raised
A E
So I stood upon the mooring of the bay
A
Both eyes closed in hopes
E B A
Your colors haven't changed
Both eyes closed in hopes
E
Your colors haven't changed
