[Verse]

Dm                                     Am
We saw you from the ocean's side, from under the boat
   Dm                       Am
We saw you making knots, we saw you get the rope
    Dm                              Am
The boy's appearing on the deck and making it lurch
        Dm                       Am             Dm Am
And the bubble of your interests ready to burst


[Chorus]

                   Dm/F Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am
He whistles and he runs

[Verse 2]

   Dm                        Am
We saw you in distraction: a sleeping, slow despair
  Dm                       Am
Rehearsing interaction, he wasn't even there
  Dm                                 Am
A creature is a creature „Though you wish you were the wind
  Dm                               Am
a boat will not stop moving if you tie him up until
    Dm  Am
the end


[Chorus 2]

                   Dm/F             Am
He whistles and he runs so hold him fast
            Dm/F                     Am
Breathe the burn, you want to let it last
            Dm/F                     Am
He might succumb to what you haven't seen
              Dm/F                     Am
He has a keen eye for what you used to be
            Dm/F                  Am
When the cadaverous mob saves its doors for the dead men
Dm/F             Am
You cannot leave
            Dm/F                  Am
When the cadaverous mob saves its doors for the dead men
Dm/F             Am
You cannot leave
