D AD AD ABm G [Verse 1]D I have failed you,A I have failed you,G I have lost my way, lost my nerve,D I've failed you. [Verse 2]D But I love you,A How I love you,G I have turned my back, left youD last but I love you. [Verse 3]Bm A Oh, setting sun don't sink beforeG I've found my heart,Bm A Heart don't give up now whileG there's still time,Bm A Time don't beat your old retreatE Stay a little while with meG 'Til I've looked the whole thingD G Bm G in the eye [Verse 4]D I have waited,Continues after the adA I have waited,G For the big reveal, the even keelD I've waited. [Verse 5]D But there's no one, whoA Makes it all come true,G Just altars gathering dust while weD bow to them. [Verse 6]Bm A Oh, night bring all your shadowsG and your silence,Bm A G Silence make a hostage of my mind,Bm A Mind bring on your trickery,E Black dogs nip on at my heels,G 'Til I've looked the whole thingD G Bm G in the eye. [Chorus]Bm A G Swing low,Bm A G Sail high,Bm A E Swing low,G D G Bm G Sail high. [Verse 7]D I have failed you,A I have failed you,G I've closed my heart and I haveD failed you. [Verse 8]D But I love you,A How I love you,G All my days will rearrange to say ID love you. [Verse 9]Bm A Oh, setting sun don't weep for allG the things you lose,Bm A Morning comes as sure as it mustG die,Bm A Dying is such mystery,E Yet I wonder will it be,G A When I've looked the whole thingD G in the eye.
