(Capo 3)
(Verse 1)
G D/F#
you're looking so sorry for yourself
Em D
slumped in that chair, well to be honest I’m quite worried for your health
C G
cause those drinks that you keep buying, well they just keep disappearing
C D
to fill that hole that you’ve been digging for yourself

(Verse 2)
So you’re telling me you used to know a girl
with bright blue sparkling eyes and in her hair she wore a feather and a curl
you told us how you were meant for each other and you thought that you might just
love her
but away the ocean took her in its swirl

(Chorus)
Em C
And your answer seems to be,
G D/F#
to find stranger’s ear too polite to flee,
​Em C
and for 5 years you’ve got drunk alone
​G D/F#
waiting for a message on your telephone
​C D Em
seems to me you’ve got to realise that she’s gone
C D G
seems to me the problem’s far closer to home

(Verse 3)
now you’re getting up and putting on your coat
a ship without direction doing anything just to stay afloat
you’ve drowned all your sorrow and used up all that you could borrow
to try to shake the pain that’s got you by the throat.

(Verse 4)
so walking home late at night
beneath tower bridge there was commotion and a swarm of flashing lights
how easy would it be, for you to float away to sea
caus i could see that you were giving up the fight

(Chorus 2)
So the question seems to be
have you made your mind up finally
have you decided you can’t go on alone
has the sorrow made its way into your bones
seems to me you’ve got to realise that there’s more
appreciate what you're fighting for
learn to fly before you hit the floor
Until one day you’ll meet here on that shore.
