Secret Harbor

C   F  Bb   C

[Verse 1]
  Em                         C
I slipped into your harbour, past 
the pirate ships
    F                   G          
The lights were low, my sails were 
F
down
    Em                        C
The seal of sacred silence was on my
 lips
    F                   G          
I prayed the storms were weathered 
F
now


[Verse 2]
  Em                              
I climbed aboard at midnight, the 
C
sky was black
    F                G      F
The gamble lost, the tables turned
    Em                     C
And even in the darkness I heard you
 laugh
    F              G       F     
And wept as all my bridges burned
   C



[Chorus]
                          F        
There is a secret harbour somewhere
        C
 north
A place where ships are not in 
F       C
flames
                        F        
A cove of beauty hidden from your 
       C
eyes
                               Am
A place where no one knows your name


[Verse 3]
    Bm                     G
You said how can you be so innocent
    C             D       C
You were my demon all the while
  Bm                           G
I saw the skull and crossbones on 
your mast
    C          D        C
The predator behind the smile


Continues after the ad
[Verse 4]
  Em                         
I cursed you as the wind blew 
 C
through my sails
  F                  G       
I loved you till the moonlight 
  F
drowned
  Em                               
I sought you through the streets 
  C
and waterways
   F               G       F     
My calling for you still resounds
   C



[Chorus]
                          F        
There is a secret harbour somewhere
        C
 north
A place where ships are not in 
F       C
flames
                        F        
A cove of beauty hidden from your 
       C
eyes
                                Am
A place where no one knows your name


[Bridge]
    Dm7                       Em  
You wooed me with your wicked 
              F
smile that night
                             Em    
And then you promised me the moon
 Eb

                         Gm
I saw it floating in the waters deep
    Eb                  D
And then it disappeared too soon


[Verse 5]
  Em                         
I sailed out of your harbour, 
 C
through the rising tide
   F             G           F
My memories were filled with pain
  Em                           C
I drifted towards the sunrise, lost 
in fog
     F           G          F
Your echo had me wrapped in chains


[Verse 6]
     Em                          C
Your promises were drifting like men
 who'd drowned
    F            G        F
The bitter water beckoned me
  Em                           C
I wrapped the shadows round me once 
again
    F                          G  
And sailed through storms that set
    F        C
 me free (set me free), set me free


[Chorus]
                          F        
There is a secret harbour somewhere
        C
 north
A place where ships are not in 
F       C
flames
                        F        
A cove of beauty hidden from your 
       C
eyes
                                Am 
A place where no one knows your 
    C
name


[Chorus]
                          F        
There is a secret harbour somewhere
        C
 north
A place where ships are not in 
F       C
flames
                        F        
A cove of beauty hidden from your 
       C
eyes
                                Am 
A place where no one knows your 
    Dm7
name


[Other]
                    G             
I washed my face in falling rain
Dm7

                        G   
And swore that I'd find love 
 Am  F    Am
again_______
