[Verse 1]
Ab         Bbm   Db
Some lost coast
Ab           Eb
Some bright days
    Bbm          Ab    Db
No face on your young head
Ab        Bbm  Db
Piece of wheat
Ab       Eb
In your teeth
         Bbm    Ab      
Carrying water, pears, 
    Db
and bread

[Chorus]
                     Eb
And you’re close to some
 surrender
             Cm7         Eb
You can feel it at your feet
     Db
And later on remember
         Eb     Cm          
When the fever broke and you
  Ebm     Eb
 could eat
            Db                   
And you’ve brought enough 
to last
   Eb             Ab   Db
 another week or two
                       Eb
Know the door is open know 
that I miss

[Verse 2]
Ab          Db
You sought land
Ab    Eb7
Overgrown
    Bbm       Ab        Db
No words, no false, no true
Ab     Db
Water stands
Ab          Eb
Waves just pass through it
      Bbm       Ab            Db
Like something moves through you
