[Verse 1]
G            C              
I swear that you swore that we 
          G
always’d be together
C                                 
Sail this bamboo boat through the 
  G
stormiest weather
    C                            
I always thought that if you felt 
           G       G/F#        C
the need to jump this ship and swim
     Em            D           C
That I’d be on the shore waving you 
in

G              C            G
You’ve got big decisions to make
C                            
I got nothing left to give and 
  G
there’s nothing more to take
C                                 
You can put your car in drive and 
G     G/F# C
point your compass west
Em                    D         
I’ll stay here with a cavern in my 
C
chest.

[Chorus]
D        Em            C
Did you expect to leave so sweet
Continues after the ad
D                    Em      C
With just the pitter patter of your 
little feet
D               Em         C
Not the loudest bombs I ever heard
Am    Am/B  C
Exploding in my chest
Am   Am/B  C
Scaring all the birds

[Verse 2]
G                 C              
You said when get you back you'll
      G
 come straight on home to me
C                                 
I don’t know where home is ‘cuz I 
G
don’t know where I’ll be
C                               G
If war comes and I’m all alone, 
     G/F#   C
I’ll sit and gently weep
Em                  D           
You’re not there to rock me back to 
C
sleep
  G              C         G
So whisper in my ear before you go
C                            
Whisper one more time, this is 
  G
something I need to know
C                              G 
And I’ll give pages of calendar 
      G/F#   C
do softly hit the floor
Em                     D         
And leave the light on outside of
   C
 my door
Em                D              C
Wait to hear your shitty car pull up
Em             D           C
Hear your tiny feet upon my step

[Chorus]
D        Em            C
Did you expect to leave so sweet
D                    Em      C
With just the pitter patter of your 
little feet
D               Em         C
Not the loudest bombs I ever heard
Am    Am/B  C
Exploding in my chest
Am   Am/B  C
Scaring all the birds
C with the hammerons on the D string
Am    Am/B  C
Exploding in my chest
Am   Am/B  C
Scaring all the birds
