verse 1: 

  G                                       C 
I know a way to kill the ripple from your touch 
    G                             C 
And what if I can only settle for much? 
   D          Em7 
It stays with you 
       D      G      C 
You're like a sky so drizzly 

That I want 
D Em7 D G C        
  'Till I take it out on you 
Bm7      Bm    C 
Show me how to keep you in 



Chorus: 

G 
You be good to me 
       D       C 
And I, I'll be good to you 
                     D 
Don't let go of your light 
          Bm 
It's your best friend in the world 
  C                      A7 
I hope you'll learn what Heaven knows 
    C 
Who cares if I go? 

G 

verse 2: 

  G                                      C 
I know a way to tell the middle from the start 
    G                                       C 
And what if telling makes the brittle fall apart? 
   D      Em7       D          G        C 
In time although my hair turns grey and grizzly 
     D 
Stay with me 



G 
So we cursed a lot 
         D         C 
And I'm ashamed of walking out 
                 D           Bm 
Oh it's just too bad, we got stuck in the past 
      C               A7 
We're hiding there in silence now 
   C 
It sounds familiar 
G 
You be good to me 
       D       C 
And I, I'll be good to you 
           D 
I'm off to work 
Bm                  C 
But I don't see you turn

          D#maj7        Gmaj7 
Cross the river on your own 
       Gm7 
On the other side 
             Gm 
You wanna go far away 
       Gmaj7 
On the other side 

The riverbed 

Follow us there 


 

G 
You be good to me 
       D       C 
And I, I'll be good to you

So we cursed a lot

And I'm ashamed of walking out 
                    D              Bm 
And my thoughts are wrought with a shortsighted secret 
    C 
And missing you 
A7                    C 
Why do you cry, Paddy? 



Outro: 

G 
Long as I've been alive 

Old as I am 
     D        C 
I've still no plan 
           D 
I'm off to work 
Bm                  C 
But I don't see you turn 
A7 
My life was OK 
      C 
I was counting my steps
