C                   E              Am                      F
You were waiting by the river,Your coat was soaking wet, 
C                         E               Am                  F
And as your arms began to shiver,Your mind began to fret. 
C                            E                         Am                      F
Closer came the winter that would take your breath away, 
C                    E                               Am                     F
Closer came the bitter cold that would keep your mind awake, 
C, E, Am, F  x2

C               E                          Am                      F
And as, Time began to wander, You stood there for a while 
C                          E            Am                   F
And as, Your heart grew fonder, He took away your smile, 
C                       E                           Am                         F
Kicking stones, between your shoes, You whistled not a note 
C                        E                     Am                  F
Time spend disecting, Every song he'd ever wrote 
          C                    E 
And now your, hair is saturated 
         F                C    G
And your heart has been invaded, 
        C                               E
And now you join the line, 
    F                                    C   G  F  G
Of those who, didn't make their move in time 
Am, F, C, G  x2 

Am                                  F                 C                        G
Wont you come home and sleep, Your mother's getting worried, 
Am                      F      C                      G
and it's just a trip across the sea, in a ship thats worthy of floating, 
Am             F          C                  G
You and me, Back to where we can sleep. 
Am, F, C, G,
        
C                    E                            Am
Your daddy was a sinner, Because your mother she dreamt of

gold, 
C                      E                       Am                     F
But no one was a winner, When it broke apart your home 
C                                  E                        F
Your eyes they learnt to see things, A child's mind should never 
C  G   
bear, 
C                     E              Am                         F
But you couldn't stop listening, To what you shouldn't hear. 

Am                                F                           C                      G
Wont you come home and sleep, Your mother's getting worried, 
Am               F      C                      G
and it's just a trip across the sea, in a ship thats worthy of floating, 
Am             F           C                   G
You and me, Back to where we can sleep.
