St. Patrick

[D]I didn’t sleep at all last night
[D]I thought my heart had mastered the run of these seas
[A]But they appear not to care about calming lately
[Bm]I awoke with a smart and a look [A]at the phone.
[A]I swear that I would have called you if I’d been[G] sure you were alone.
And doesn’t that drive things home?[D]

[D]The hardest time to forget is when sleep clears your mind,
[D]Bringing up what might have been, and who’s by her side.
[A]And if I appear forlorn, that’s the reason truly.
[Bm]Should I find myself a surrogate to keep[A] the winters warm
Blame her for my former love and blunt h[G]er of her charms?
Blunt her of her charm[D]s?

[D]Oh dear Saint Patrick, I pray for some water
[D]Just let me quench my thirst this morning after.
[A]And this girl by my side, well who knows the future?
[Bm]But if I appear forgetful she’s the reas[A]on on my mind
If you detect a smile it’s as I dr[G]eam of foreign lands
And letting things get out of ha[D]nd
[A]Is exactly what I’ve got planned[D]!
