[Verse 1]
I’m supposed to be sAmtoic As I wipe the tFears off of my face Watch the shCips off the coast of Mexico Block it oGut as they roll away I still see you sAmmiling Even as I’m sFelfish as I’ve ever been See you sCitting in your chair See you sGinging happy birthday
[Interlude] C Am F G (x2) [Verse 2]
I got the call in JAmune But couldn’t bring myself to sFee you Or even gCet you on the phone G I wanted yAmou to remember Fme in perfection But rCeally I'm G I’m just a fucking cAmoward I couldn’t sFtand to see you die C And I was dealing with my oGwn shit If I’m being hAmonest mom said you’d uFnderstand But I don’t blCame you if you dGidn’t
[Chorus]
And I’m C on the docks again Am Looking out at that awful oFcean Watching the tide take you awGay CI know you ain’t resting your bones Am I know you ain’t made it back home F At least the loneliness gave yGou a break
[Interlude] C Am F G (x2) [Verse 3]
We never held a fuAmneral F 'Cause of the cConsequence they bringG Letting Amgo is never eFasy Even wChen you’re empty Even wGhen you're alone AmI hope they pFlayed you Otis RCedding G I hope you hAmeard me hum alFong As those arms of yCours went down inGto the dark
[Chorus]
And I’m C on the docks again Am Looking out at that awful oFcean Watching the tide take you awGay CI know you ain’t resting your bones Am I know you ain’t made it back home F At least the loneliness gave yGou a break
[Bridge]
And my pFhone rang a year lGater With your sAmmile haunting Gme And I fFinally broke at a rGental home In JAmoshua Tree G And I tFell myself it gets bGetter But it nAmever gets any eGasier when your vFoice It ain’t Gon the other sAmide
[Verse 4]
AmI hope they played you Otis RFedding I hope you remCembered I named my guitar After your fGavorite singer of your favorite sAmong And I break down every time I sFee That old Spanish nylon that you boCught It never comes off the shelf anyGmore
[Chorus]
CI'm on the docks again Am Looking out at that awful oFcean Watching the tide take you awGay CI know you ain’t resting your bones Am I know you ain’t made it back home F At least the loneliness G At least the loneliness gave you a break C
