The Oh Hellos - In memoriam

^Bmwell, it's a ^Dlong way out to reach the ^Bmsea but I'm sure ^DI'll find you waiting there for ^Bmme and by the t^Dime I blink, I'll see ^Ayour wild arms swinging just to m^Bmeet me in the middle of the ^Groad and you'll ^Ehold me like you'll never let me ^Ggo and besi^Ede the salty water, I could ^Ghold you close, but you are ^Dfar too beautiful to ^Bmlove me

it's a ^Dlong climb up the dusty m^Bmountain to build a ^Dturret tall enough to^Bm keep you out but when you ^Dwage your wars against the o^Ane who adores you, then you'll ^Bmnever know the treasure that ^Gyou're worth but I've ^Enever been a wealthy one ^Gbefore I've got ^Eholes in my pockets bur^Gned by liars' gold, and I think I'm ^Dfar too poor for you to ^Bmwant me

it's been a ^Dlong road, losing all I've^Bm owned and you don't ^Dknow what you've got until you'^Bmre gone and it's a n^Dasty habit, spending a^All you have, but when you're ^Bmdoing all the leaving, then it's n^Gever your love lost and if you l^Bmeave before the start, then there was^G never love at all and heaven k^Bmnows I'm prone to leave the only G^God I should have loved, and yet you're ^Dfar too beautiful to l^Bmeave me
