Tom : C#m
G#m/C# G#m A E
everything's okay, walks along the dock
G#m/C# G#m A E Esus4
with some sailor's pay shoved down in her sock
E * G#m/D# D F#m E
everything's okay with some little boy in blue
E/B
A * G#m B/F# E ** / B / C
who don't know you like i do
G#m/C# G#m A E
everything's okay, took him back to town
G#m/C# G#m A E Esus4
well i didn't get paid today so i'm in the lost and found
E * G#m/D# D F#m E
and i wonder if that clown that knows just what to do
E/B
A* G#m B/F# E** E/B Eaug5
what to say and what not to
C#m Eaug5 E/B Eaug5
pretty words that you whispered
C#m Eaug5 E/B Eaug5
maybe i misunderstood
C#m Eaug5 E/B D#/A#
somebody's not payin' attention what they promise
A ** Am
and their word isn't good
G#m/C# G#m A E
everything's okay, i'm looking for you now
G#m/C# G#m A E Esus4
down here by the bay where the water pounds
E * G#m/D# D F#m E
up against the wall, then i'm coming to
E/B
A* G#m B/F# E** E/B Eaug5
cuz i can't stay away from you
C#m Eaug5 E/B
i don't need no satisfaction
Eaug5 C#m Eaug5 E/B Eaug5
and i don't take things just because i can
C#m Eaug5 E/B
sometimes i get a strong impression
D#/A#
A ** Am Am/B Am/C
that you just dont understand that kind of man
G#m/C# G#m A E
everything's okay, i can see your face
G#m/C# G#m A E Esus4
down there in the waves, painted and erased
E * G#m/D# D F#m E
but i'm told its just the reflection of the moon
E/B
A* G#m B/F# E** E/B Eaug5
a big fake resembling you
C#m Eaug5 E/B Eaug5
i'm gonna go down in the water
C#m Eaug5 E/B Eaug5
fill my mouth up full of sand
C#m Eaug5
E/B D#/A# A**
and i'll be waiting still impatient with my dead imagination
Am Am/B Am/C
while you're with some other man
G#m/C# G#m A E
everything's okay, i'll be with you soon
G#m/C# G#m A E Esus4
i'm walking out to place my arms around the moon
E * G#m/D# D F#m
yah i'll be with you soon, just as soon as i pay
E E/B A * G#m B/F# E **
a walk across the water, everything's o - kay
E E/B A * G#m B/F# E **
walk on water, everything's o - kay
