[Verse 1]
    Bm   Em                 G        A
And I, I called through the air that night
  D        G      D    G A
A calm sea voiced with a lie
        Em                               A
I could only smile, I've been alone some time
    Em                      A
And all, and all, it's been fine
 
[Verse 2]
    Bm   Em      G           A
And you, you had hope for me now
  D           G     D  G   A
I danced all around it somehow
   Em                        A
Be fair to me, I may drift a while
        Em                 A
Were it up to me, you know I'd
 
[Verse 3]
Bm   Em                 G        A
I, I called through the air that night
    D           G   D    G A
The faults were swarming inside
       Em                         A
Was it infantile, that which we desired?
        Em                      A
Were it up to me, all from your eyes

[Verse 4]
    Bm   Em                 G        A
And I, I called through the air that night
   D                   G D    G A
My thoughts were still buried inside
        Em                                A
We were closer then, I've been alone some time
            Em                                     A
Filled your glass with gin, filled your heart with pride
 
[Verse 5]
    Bm   Em      G           A
And you, you had hope for me now
  D           G     D  G   A
I danced all around it somehow
   Em                       A
Be fair to me, I may drift awhile
             Em                             A
If there's a plan for me, would it make you smile?
 
[Outro]
Em                   A
No, don't want to be there for no one (I'd stay here)
Em                   A
No, don't want to be there for no one (That's over the sea)
Em              A
I don't want to follow your light (On the sea)
Em                   A
No, don't want to be there for no one (I can't be saved)

Easily the best way to play this song up on this site. Just for clarification, is the chord written what it sounds like, or the shape that you should play assuming you use the capo up on 5? In case you don't know what I mean, I am talking about how an Em shape with a capo on 5 is actually an Am, and how the Bm you have written up there becomes an Em.
