Tainted Obligations

(D)                        (G)   
I saw the shoals at night, with 
        (D)
the moon above.
                          (A7sus4)
I felt an obligation, and heard your
 voice again.
(D)                             
If you were here once, you were here
(G)
 a hundred times.
(D)                          
If I reached out tonight, I 
(A7sus4)
found I couldn't fight it.

If you were here once, you were 
              B
here a hundred times.

Ohhhhhh


D                         G      
Best as a wishing star, I saw you
            D
 better far away,
                           A7sus4
and I felt obligation, and heard 
your voice again.

D                       G        
Hear the rush of water, passing 
        D
over the shoals.
Hear my heartbeat rather, if I 
A7sus4
reached out tonight.
B              A                 
If I reach out tonight and find I
       B
 can't fight it,
                A
and look to the stars, and wander 
towards a

D                       G        
heartfelt obligation, a place 
             D
that you called home
                     A7sus4
and heard your voice again, but it's
 too late.
D                                 
You left long ago, and now you're 
G
probably dead and gone,
    D                      A7sus4 
and I'm left here with the water 
                    B       
and the shoals and a tainted 
    A
obligation.
B       A
Ohhhhhh
