verse 1: 

G           C               G 
 I'd go beyond our fighting borders 
        D                G       C     G     D 
 If you needed that from me 
G               C         G 
 I'd march with decorated soldiers 
             D              G       C     G     D 
 To get your pretty eyes to see 
G              C                  G 
 Well, I would bring your morning coffee 
          D              G       C      Em     D 
 Then I'd wrap you up in me 
G              C              Em 
 I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders 
       D               G      C     Em      D 
 Cover blankets on our feet 


PREChorus: 

    Em 
 So slow down 
         F 
 There's some kind of blessing here 
     C                    D 
 But you have missed your cue 




              G           D 
 So keep your eyes set on the horizon 
        Em                    Bm 
 On the line where blue meets blue 
     G          D 
 And I bet that silver lining 
         Em                 Bm 
 Where I know it'd find you soon 
        C               D                 Em 
 'Cause I have sailed a thousand ships to you 
        C              D               G 
 But my messages don't seem to make it through

 But slow down 
         F 
 There's some sort of blessing here 
     C                           D 
 But you've gone and missed your cue 




              G           D 
 So keep your eyes set on the horizon 
        Em                    Bm 
 On the line where blue meets blue 
     G          D

Bridge: 

       Em                        G      Em 
 Well, money and fame they are a losing game and I know those pretty actresses 
     G            Am        Em  
 Are calling your name, but I'll be here waiting 
      G             Am          Em          D  
 I'll always be the same if you let me in again
