                    C     
She wears her dress high

   F                                  G
As high as she pulls her hat down low


She's seeking out the places

C             F          G
Those other people can't go

F    C       F C
And hold her


                 C
I'm touched by the sea (I'm touched by the sea)

      F                                            G
She's walking on water when she walks in her sleep


She's dragging me through places

C       F            G    G' F# F'
I didn't wanna be seen



         G     C
She is a liar

         F      G' F# F'
As i am a thief

                   G
(Be)cause of you I came

                    C     F C
(Be)cause of you i leave



            C               F
I wanna know (I wanna know)

                                  G
Why the monsters that hurt you so


Don't look like those things that

C          F       G    G' F# F'
We battled so long ago


                 G
And I thought I did my part

             C               F       C
When I pulled you out of there

                    G    F     C  F  G    G' F# F'
That night you left boot-marks on my wall



          G
You are my liar

   C               F        G' F# F'
So I will be your thief 

                 G 
Because of you I came


[enter band]

C          F     G
Because of you I leave (x3)


C          F          G
Wake up, baby we are home now (x3)

C           F G
We are home now  (x3)
