Verse 1;
G D C D
What would you be if the waves set you free
G D C D
And the wind in your hair brought you sailing to me
G C G D
Tied up on the shore would you weary no more?
G D C G
When will it be, when will it be
Verse 2;
G D C D
What would I be if a hurricane came
G D C D
Would I be clever, would I be shamed
G C G D
Would I lie helpless, cast up on the flames
G D C G
What will I be, what will I be
Chorus;
The following guitar part is played during the chorus. To make this
easier to read and write I've used the following shorthand abbreviations;
Damp the strings with the right hand and use a combination of a short and a longer delay
plus chorus and compressor. Use lots of attack on the compressor. Add some reverb.

Verse 3;
G D C D
Where would we go to the sand or the snow

Where would we go, where would we go

Note: The above part continues behind the following lyrics;
G
Let’s run right out of the city tonight
D
With our hair tied up and lips sealed tight
Em C Em D
I will cry no more, I said I will cry no more
G
Like an empty tourist at the world fair
D
I could only stand and stare
Em C Em D
And let it pass me by, and let it pass me by
Em
I never should have said out loud
D
That I wanted to save the world
Em C Em D
But I let it slip away, I just let it slip away

The only thing I wanted to be
D
Was the perfect one who killed for free

And I will try no more, I say I will try no more

But now we are together we won’t turn back

Where the boats are burned and the ties are black
Em C Em D
And I will cry no more, I will cry no more
