Water's Edge

Water's Edge

Water's Edge


From the album, ”Shine” 2004




 A A E E F#m F#m D D F#m F#m E 
     
  A           E       F#m 
I went to the water's edge 
F#m D    A        E 
Forgot I couldn't swim 
  A           E       F#m 
I went to the water's edge 
F#m A     D  A    E  
All ready to jump in 

A     E         D      A 
I saw the water shimmer 
A         E      A 
I heard the wind howl 
A        E     D      A 
I saw my own reflection 
A            E      A 
I just can't see it now 
    A            E          F#m 
You say it's the way of the world 
F#m D      A  E 
To somehow co-exists 
     A          E          F#m 
That eventually life unfurls 
  A    D  A    E 
A path to happiness 

     A            E      D    A 
So I whisper your little secret 
    D         A        E 
And repeat it under my breath 
     A       E          D  A    
I'll save it for you in my heart 
   A       E    A 
In case we both forget 

   F#m            E             D      A 
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 
     F#m          E     D 
I am gripped by a loneliness 
      F#m            E             D      A 
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 
         A              E     A 
I'd be released in your tenderness 
         A              E     A 
I'd be released in your tenderness 

F#m-D-A-E-F#m-D-A-E- F#m-D-A-E-A-E-A  

  A           E       F#m 
I went to the water's edge 
    D      A     E 
And saw my life eclipse 
  A           E       F#m 
I went to the water's edge 
    A         D A     E 
And then felt myself slip 

  A              E       D  A 
I dreamed that I was floating 
     A       E          A 
Just coast until I grew fins 
  A       E          D         A     
I want to catch this tide back home 
    D    E    A 
And feel you again 

   F#m            E             D      A 
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 
     F#m          E     D 
I am gripped by a loneliness 
      F#m            E             D      A 
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 
       A              E     A 
I'd be released in your tenderness 

      F#m            E             D      A 
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 
     F#m          E     D 
I am gripped by a loneliness 
      F#m            E             D      A 
Oh, I wish you could wrap yourself around me 
       A              E     A 
I'd be released in your tenderness 
       A              E     A 
I'd be released in your tenderness 
       A              E     A 
I'd be released in your tenderness
