A                      Dsus2
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale
        Em11        Dsus2    A
With a flame and a book of signs.
                      Dsus2
You'll never know how hard I've failed
      Em11           Dsus2   A
Trying to make up for lost time.

A                   Dsus2
Once I believed in things unseen
           Em11   A
I was blinded by the dark.
                Dsus2
Out of the multitude to me
    Em11     Dsus2     A
He came and broke my heart.

          Em11        Dsus2      A
When the dust in the field has flown,
          Em11        Dsus2      A
And the youngest of hearts has grown,
         Em11        Dsus2    
And you doubt you will ever be free,
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me.

A                   Dsus2
River is wide and oh so deep
        Em11      Dsus2    A
And it winds and winds around.
               Dsus2
I dream we're happy in my sleep
          Em11    Dsus2     A
Floating down and down and down.

                    Dsus2         A
And the tide rushes by where we stand,
         Em11       Dsus2           A
And the earth underneath turns to sand,
           Em11         Dsus     
And we're waiting for someone to see,
Riff1               Riff1
Don't bail on me.

A          Dsus2
Tell ma I loved the man
      Em11     Dsus2      A
Even though I turned and ran.
                   Dsus2
Lovely and fine I could have been
Em11                Dsus2       A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11                Dsus2       A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11                Dsus2       A
Laying down in the palm of his hand.
Em11                Dsus2       A
Staying down in the palm of his hand.

Em11              Dsus2          A
In the morning you wait for the sun,
      Dsus2   Em11          A
And secretly hope it won't come,
     Dsus2        Em11     Dsus2
But time washes everyone clean,
              Riff1
Honey now, don't bail on me.
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me.
Riff1             Riff1
Don't bail on me.
