Okkervil River - Seas too far to reach

The la^Adies in my dream- so ob^Dliging. They c^Eome on down to do the things I ^Aneed. ^E Whether s^Akies are calm or cut apart by^D lightning, They’r^Ee always there to minister t^Ao me.

And a^F#mt break of dawn, they’re sweetl^Ay shining. Or at^F#m quiet of midnight, cold and ^Edim, They say “don’t h^Darm him.” And when I ^Ewake just as their eyes are cryin^Ag, ^D I see that^F#m bed and I just want to climb back ^Ein.

But l^F#met’s gather up your f^Driends and drive u^Ap to that country^E inn. We ca^F#mn stay there, feeling w^Dater warmly w^Aash across our sk^Ein, Givin^Dg back all of our te^Ears so that we can c^Ary them again.

You w^Aant to tell your dad you can’t believe h^De’s dying, But let’s jus^Et walk on down the hall and shut ou^Ar mout^Ehs. The AM r^Aadio is broken down and ^Dcrying As on this ho^Eur drive we’re silent to ou^Arselves.

Let^F#m’s go back up to your house, and take o^Aur clothes off. And^F#m just push and pull ourselves until we’r^Ee deep inside^D of sleep. And with your b^Eody next to me, its sleepy sigh^Aing ^D Sounds like ^F#mwaves upon a sea too far to re^Each.

But I^F#m’ll gather up m^Dy men and try t^Ao sail on it ^Eagain, And w^F#me’ll walk and quietly^D talk all through th^Ae country of your^E skin, Made up of ^F#mpieces of the pl^Daces that you’ve^A dreamed and that^E you’ve been. And we will s^Dleep outside in te^Ants upon this un^F#Mfamiliar land, ^E And in the m^Dorning we’ll^E awake, yeah, as a^F#m foreign dawning bre^Daks, My men and ^AI will all ^Eawake. Let's try again. ^A
