C G F C

Once I was dug up I was sinking

G F

I was longing to be saved

C G

I lapped up to the bay bar

F G F

And I saw her bobbing like a wave

Dm F

And I slowed down

C G F C

Just six months this summer since I've known her

G F

That she's been away

C G F C G F

Dm

And sometimes I still answer to the gone ghosts that only suckers make

F G Dm F C G F C G F

Slow down and hold on hold on

C G F C

Even my heroes are almost gone

G F

Almost folding from the flame

C G

But how low how can your fuse glow

F C G F Dm F G F Dm F

And warm you until your torch begins to fade

C G F C

I dreamed of a couple dancing close and drunk

G F

In the spray of lights they made

C G

And once I was dug up

F C G F Dm F G

I was sinking but now I'm longing to be saved
