        Bm      A G D
Now dissolve me-
                   Bm  A G D
Two tabs on your tongue
   Bm                   A
A herd of shepherds to herd the sheep,
  G               D  Bm A G D
Sleep now my only one
         Bm       A  G   D              Bm A G D
Broken sweethearts  (ahh-ah) who sleep apart
Bm                      A
Both still pine for the other's side spine
  G              D  Bm A G D
Spoon as sleep starts

Chorus:
     Em       G          Bm  D  G
And pulse to pulse, now shu-uh-ush
     F#m       G
She makes the sound,
     Bm        A        D       G   Bm A G D
The sound sea makes to calm me down

I am see-through
Soap sliver, you're so thin
As I begin rubbing lathers out
Your state worsens on my skin
And gold
Fatless finger to lip
One-two, three-four, hush

And pulse to pulse
Now, shush

Chorus:
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes
To calm me down
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes
I'm tired now

She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north
She makes the sound the sea makes
Knee-deep in the north sea
