Mainland

D               C             G 
   I said, "I'm just a servant 
     Em
to my base desires"
D                  C              
   She said, "I'll tell you a few 
G              Em
things, free of charge:
D                 C           G 
   Steer clear of jagged rock, 
               Em
tread careful at the higher level
D                  C              
   This ain't no game, but you can
G     Em                  D C G Em
 play if that's what you want"

D C G Em

                D           C     
Then she said, "We are just paper 
     G        Em
boats bobbing adrift afloat
D                 C               
   While winds of fortune shove us
G                Em
 where they will"
D                C            G 
Woke up coughing on the shore, 
            Em
cold outcrop broken, sore
D                  C            
   Back on the mainland, the 
G                 Em
chimps were coming up trumps


[Chorus]
          A                   
And all I saw was burning blue 
        C
fading into blinding white
         G                         
Wade out past the rotting pier, out
        A
 to the open water
         C                         
Son of a red roof city, and her, 
  G
the full moon's daughter

Back on the mainland, back on the 
C
mainland
                G                  
Cool change was rolling over, black
         Em
 sky was getting lower
            D C G Em
On golden sand

D C G Em


[Verse]
D              C          G     
   We stared into the haze, 
        Em
ocean merging with sky
D                   C             
   And talked about the land of 
 G     Em
our fore-mothers
D                 C             
   Now that we've shut the gate,
G            Em
 it would be funny if it
D               C               G
Didn't make you want to cry
        Em
This is just the bed we've woken up 
in


[Chorus]
          A                   
And all I saw was burning blue 
        C
fading into blinding white
         G                         
Wade out past the rotting pier, out
        A
 to the open water
         C                         
Son of a red roof city, and her, 
  G
the full moon's daughter
            A                     
Back on the mainland, back on the 
C
mainland
                G                  
Cool change was rolling over, black
         A
 sky was getting lower
                  C                
Green dreams were folding over, as 
G
we sailed off the mainland


[Solo]
A C G  x4

A                       C
   Never coming off the line
                G
Wake up feeling fine
                        A
Her eyes under pale moonlight
                  C
Far corner of the earth
                   G
Tripping up on the edge
               A C G
Big impossible now
