Dm                     Dm/C
      He's just the kind of man
A#6
      You hear about
Em9                        A7
      Who leaves his family
Dm                   Am7
      For an easy out
Dm                  Dm/C
      They never saw the signs
A#6
      He never said a word
Em9                        A7        Dm            Am7
      He couldn't take another day

     Dm         Dm/A#      C      A7
      Carry me to the shoreline
     Dm         Dm/A#      C      A7
      Bury me in the sand
     Dm         Dm/A#      C      A7
      Walk me across the water
                 Bb                       Csus4     C
      And maybe you'll understand


      F                Bb
      Once the stone
                     Csus4
      You're crawling under
          F         Bb           Csus4
      Is lifted off your shoulders
        F              Bb             Csus4
      Once the cloud that's raining
       A7             Dm        Dm/C
      Over your head disappears
               G
      The noise that you'll hear
                  Bb                        Csus4
      Is the crashing down of hollow years

     (F   Dm   F/A#   Csus4)

Dm                     Dm/C
      She's not the kind of girl
A#6
      You hear about
Em9                        A7
      She'll never want another
Dm                   Am7
      She'll never be without
Dm                  Dm/C
      She'll give you all the signs
A#6
      She'll tell you everything
Em9                        A7        Dm            Am7
      Then turn around and walk away


     Dm         Dm/A#      C      A7
      Carry me to the shoreline
     Dm         Dm/A#      C      A7
      Bury me in the sand
     Dm         Dm/A#      C      A7
      Walk me across the water
                 Bb                       Csus4     C
      And maybe you'll understand


      F                Bb
      Once the stone
                     Csus4
      You're crawling under
          F         Bb           Csus4
      Is lifted off your shoulders
        F              Bb             Csus4
      Once the cloud that's raining
       A7             Dm        Dm/C
      Over your head disappears
               G
      The noise that you'll hear
                  Bb                        Csus4
      Is the crashing down of hollow years
