Tom : Em
Em G
She she she she only ever ver ver ver ver ,
G A
Walk to to count count her steps,
Em G
Eighteen teen strides and she stops to abide
G A
By the law that she herself has set.
Em G
That eighten steps is one complete set,
G D G A
And before the next nine right and nine left.
Em G
She looks up up at the blueeeeeee,
A B
And whispers to all of the above.
Em G
Don't let me drown, don't breathe alone,
D G A
No kicks no pangs no broken bones.
Em G
Never let me sink, Always feel at home,
D G A
No sticks no shanks and no stones.
Em G
Never leave it too late, Always enjoy the taste,
D G A
Of the great great great grey world of hearts.
Em G
As all dogs everywhere bark bark bark bark
D A
It's worth knowing,
Em A G D Em
Like all good fruit, the balance of life is in the ripe, and ruined.
