Talk to me like the sea

[Intro]

F – Bb – F – Bb

All this short summer night long

Bb7

I’ve been waiting for you

Just to give me a sign

Bb7

That you feel this way too

There are people on the streets for the weekend

Bb7

But I don’t hear them

There are others I could meet for the weekend

Bb7 C

But I don’t see them

[Chorus]

Dm/Bb

Talk to me like the sea

C/Am – Dm

Makes me want to get out of the city

Dm/G

Talk to me like the sea

C Dm-C

Makes me want to get out of the city

[Verse 2]

F Bb7

I have a dream, of an inky blue sea

F Bb7

You could give up your job and go there with me

I know we’d miss the football and the dancing

There’s always something
And you’d worry that the people here’d be talking
But that’s nothing

[Repeat Chorus]

In the morning I sit on the train and wonder
If I can go through all this again you know
I feel like staying till the end of the line this time
This time, this time, this time

We come to fight and dream
In this fairground of a town
Through the sweet and sickly streets
From the airless undergrounds

While the planes fly out of Heathrow
Taking people late at night
To where the fields are like Australia
In the early morning light

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

Talk to me like the sea
In the morning I sit on the train
Talk to me like the sea
Oh oh yeah

Talk to me like the sea
Oh yeah, I sit on the train
Talk to me like the sea

[Verse 1]
Bm A E
You’re only just a dream boat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast

[Chorus]
But it’s only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it’s only when I sleep

[Verse 2]
And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow’s disappeared
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I’m working through the daytime
But when it’s time to rest
I’m lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge

[Repeat Chorus]

But it’s only when I sleep

It’s reaching through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast

[Repeat Chorus]

Photograph

[Intro]

E – C#m – B – A

[Verse]

Loving can hurt

C#m
Loving can hurt sometimes

B A
But it’s the only thing that I know

E
When it gets hard

C#m
You know it can get hard sometimes

B A
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

[Pre-Chorus]

C#m A
We keep this love in a photograph

E B

We made these memories for ourselves

C#m
Where our eyes are never closing

A
Hearts are never broken

E B

Times forever frozen still

[Chorus]

So you can keep me inside the pocket

B
Of your ripped jeans

C#m
Holdin’ me closer ’til our eyes meet

A
You won’t ever be alone

Wait for me to come home

[Verse]
Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it’s the only thing that I know (know)
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it’s the only thing we take with us when we die

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

And if you hurt me

That’s OK, baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won’t ever let you go

Wait for me to come home

A
Wait for me to come home

E
Wait for me to come home

B
Wait for me to come home

E
Oh you can fit me

B
Inside the necklace you got when you were 16

Next to your heartbeat where I should be

Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me

B
Well, that’s OK, baby, only words bleed

C#m

Inside these pages you just hold me

A
And I won’t ever let you go

[Outro]

E
When I’m away

I will remember how you kissed me

C#m

Under the lamp post back on 6th street

A
Hearing you whisper through the phone,

E
“Wait for me to come home.”
