Siren

C                  Am                   C
  You’re lost on a sea that you sailed on
         Am                       C
Now its cold and rough where you are

It’s a harsh wind blowing
               G
But I did not cause this storm you see
                F         Am
I’ve just been here, open-armed
    G
Invitingly

           C                        Am
I’ve been alone on this sea for so long
             F                    Am
I wanted to touch, I had to feel love
C               G            C
  Before these waves took me under

G                                Am
But Aden you came to me in the dark
       G
In the dark
G
And as gentle as a siren can be
    Am              G
I caught you and I held you down

           C
Oh if the pink light of morning
                    Am
Would wash all the demons out of here
          F                Am
I could lie down on your ground
    C                G
And pull my body near

             C                      Am
But all the knots in my stomach are telling
                    F
There’s no where to rest
                    Am
There’s no place to go
            C             G
And the shadows they keep on
           Am
With their shanty song

( F  Am  C  G )
( F  Am  C  G  G )

Am                                           G
   It’s the darkest horse that’s chasing me down
Am
   And the gods here have no care
          G
Where you go when you drown

F             Am                      C
I’ve been mistaken for something I’m not
                G
For something I wished I could be
F           Am
 Pretty and fine
                 C
I’d draw the line
                 G
At just singing soothingly

F                 Am
 But I’ve been a liar
            C
I have been ugly
         G
I can be ugly

( F  Am  C  G )
( F  Am  C  G )

           F                       Am
And we’ll join the Venture and the Morning Star
        C               G
Singing haul away my laddie-o

( F  Am  C  G )
( F  Am  C  G )

C                  Am                  C
  You’re lost on a sea that you sailed on
         Am
Now its cold and rough
