Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'd  like to know  you as a promise  kept well
 A ballast  of incessant dispel
 A stone  in the water,  a stillness  in time
 The peace  that I'd left  home to find ~
 To find ~ I ~
To  find ~  To find ~
What  must I say  to keep  you all day,  any  day?
What  must I say  to change  your mind
 Maybe if I could turn  off the tape
 Rub the death  from my face
 Head home,  and forget  all my songs
 I'm changing  the shape  of this miserable place
Maybe  then, you'd  wanna solve  me
 'Cause I'd  like to tell  you I've been dripping  with sin
 Your skiff  left this beach  once again
 I turned  from the water,  not a thought  in my mind
 Of the peace  that I'd left  home to find
I ~ I ~
 And what  must I say  to keep  you all day,  any  day?
What  must I say  to change  your mind?
 Maybe if I could stop
Turn  off the tape,  rub the death  from my face
 Head home,  and forget  all my songs
 I'm changing  the shape  of this miserable place
 And maybe  then you'd  wanna solve  me
What  must I say  to keep  you all day,  any  day?
What  must I say  to change  your  mind?
 Maybe if I could stop
 ~The End~
 If you're not a fan of bar chords, then you can tune a half-step down and play
 the chords a half-step up. (G, C, Em, Am, etc...) I hope this helps.
