      Am              F
There is no hole in which to hide
      Am	  Em
There is no plane to catch
   Am		           F
No hope, tell them that's warm enough
   Am                     G   E
No rent to a room that's quiet

    Am		             F
A friend I've known through six degrees
       Am              Em
Comes down to where I hide
   Am 			      F
A friend I've known through dreams and prayers
      Am              G     C
She comes back to my side

C                              F
You're so far from wanting to talk
C                              G             Em
You're so far from wanting to say something good
G               E
Feel something good

     Am           F
The sea cries of loves of girls
     Am	          Em
The sea cries of boys
     Am		       F
The storm, we are the both of us
     Am            G   C
Too close to ever love

C                          F
Whisky from the island of Sun
C                              G
Whisky from the year you were born
             Em         G         E
Tastes like kidnap and ransom and exile

Am                      F
Somebody asked me what hell was like
Am                    Em
Somebody asked me for help
Am                      F
Somebody asked me what hell was like
Am                      G             F C
Lunging and happening, parting of souls

F                      C
Every girl you ever admired
(Every boy you ever desired)
F                       C
Every love you ever forgot
(every person that you)
F               C
despised is forgiven
