G C G C G

[Verse 1]
G            C                        G
I swear that you swore that we always’d be together
C                                   G
Sail this bamboo boat through the stormiest weather
    C                                       G       G/F#        C
I always thought that if you felt the need to jump this ship and swim
     Em            D           C
That I’d be on the shore waving you in

G              C            G
You’ve got big decisions to make
C                              G
I got nothing left to give and there’s nothing more to take
C                                 G     G/F# C
You can put your car in drive and point your compass west
Em                    D         C
I’ll stay here with a cavern in my chest.

[Chorus]
D        Em            C
Did you expect to leave so sweet
D                    Em      C
With just the pitter patter of your little feet
D               Em         C
Not the loudest bombs I ever heard
Am    Am/B  C
Exploding in my chest
Am   Am/B  C
Scaring all the birds

[Verse 2]
G                 C                    G
You said when get you back you'll come straight on home to me
C                                 G
I don’t know where home is ‘cuz I don’t know where I’ll be
C                               G     G/F#   C
If war comes and I’m all alone, I’ll sit and gently weep
Em                  D           C
You’re not there to rock me back to sleep
  G              C         G
So whisper in my ear before you go
C                              G
Whisper one more time, this is something I need to know
C                              G       G/F#   C
And I’ll give pages of calendar do softly hit the floor
Em                     D            C
And leave the light on outside of my door
Em                D              C
Wait to hear your shitty car pull up
Em             D           C
Hear your tiny feet upon my step

[Chorus]
D        Em            C
Did you expect to leave so sweet
D                    Em      C
With just the pitter patter of your little feet
D               Em         C
Not the loudest bombs I ever heard
Am    Am/B  C
Exploding in my chest
Am   Am/B  C
Scaring all the birds
C with the hammerons on the D string
Am    Am/B  C
Exploding in my chest
Am   Am/B  C
Scaring all the birds
