WORDS ON WATER
(Kitson/Kitson)
Transcribed (badly) by Phil Gardner
E7-Am-E7-Am
E
There's a blue moon ring around my aching heart,
G
My skin has opened up tonight,
A
The river knows the name of the secret star,
G
I'm guessing that I'm guessing right.
E7-Am-E7-Am
E
Did she just walk in, did she look at me,
G
Did she say her name was Harmony,
A
For a second all the traffic noise just dies away,
G
I can hear it as she calls to me.
C G
'Cause Harmony was the name of Venus and Mars's daughter,
C D
I'm standing on the bridge tonight, reading her name.
E7 Am E7 Am
Words on water, yeah, words on water, yeah,
E7 Am E7 Am
Words on water, yeah, words on water, yeah.
E
She can suck you in, she can bleed you dry,
G
And she can snap your back in two,
A
Well you can touch her skin, you can try and try,
G
But she'll keep on flowing over you.
E7-Am-E7-Am
E
Did she leave me beached like a drifted corpse,
[Your guess is as good as mine...]
