Dm C G x2
 
[Verse 1]
    Dm        C      G
The telegraph cables hum
    Dm        C              G
And few can decipher who the message is from
    Dm      C  G
And deliver it quietly
      Dm         C        G
Cause some don't get much company
 
Dm C G x2

The harbor becomes the sea
    Dm            C             G

Dm        C       G
Pale as a pile of bones
    Dm            C
You hope for your babies
     G
And this is how they grow
     Gm
Wind-battered, knocked over
    Dm
The teeth by the shoulder
Gm
Watching the grey sky
       Dm
That's acting like a good guy
 
[Chorus 2]
    Gm  Am     Gm  Am
The water, the water
        Bb
Came to realize

It's a dangerous size
    Gm   Am      Gm  Am
The mountain the mountain
        Bb
Came to recognize
               G
It's steep and rocky sides
        Bb
Came to recognize
               G
It's steep and rocky sides

More than realized
