D
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah, ay ah
D
I’ll be waiting out here,
Waiting at your door
If you want it I could try and get 
you little, little more
F#m
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah, ay ah
D
I’ll break a promise that I made to 
you yesterday
I’ll never hide from you or ever try
 to run-run away
F#m
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Verse

D
I wrote a letter when I met her and 
tore out the page
I threw it in a box and threw it 
somewhere far, far away
F#m
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
Continues after the ad
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
D
You tell me secrets and you tell me 
that you want some more
It’s not up to me to try and help 
you settle, settle score
F#m
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

G F#m Em x2


Chorus

D
I could take you out in the 
afternoon,
Dodge the sharks as we swim to the 
pontoon,
G
I know-oh-oh-oh it's a metaphor,
I know-oh-oh-oh we're still on the 
shore
D
Light a fire in our lifeboat
Just to keep warm but we won’t stay 
afloat
G
I know-oh-oh-oh it’s a metaphor,
I know-oh-oh-oh we’re still on the 
shore,

G F#m Em

Verse

D
Sit-sat at home expecting I’ll be 
driving round
I came to pick you up so you can try
 and let me, let me down
F#m
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
D
It’s so annoying how you hated, put 
yourself in pain
It’s disappointing cause it’s just a
 made-up little, little game
F#m
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah
Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

G F#m Em x2

Chorus

D
I could take you out in the

G
I know-oh-oh-oh it’s a metaphor,
I know-oh-oh-oh we’re still on the 
shore,
D
Light a fire in our lifeboat
Just to keep warm but we won’t stay 
afloat
G
I know-oh-oh-oh it’s a metaphor,
I know-oh-oh-oh we’re still on the 
shore
