[INTRO]
[G]

[VERSE 1]
[G]Made a good run but I've run too far
[G]Fought the battle of jalopy in this beat-up car
But I'm [C/G]drawn to you honey like the sea to the fisherman's da[G]ughter
It's just a [D]short walk on the [Em]water

[VERSE 2]
If you [G]find yourself alone, if you run out of road
If you [G]get the way it gets when lightning strikes and then goes
[C/G]I'll be around, it don't matter what the others offe[G]r
It's just a [D]short walk on the [Em]water

[CHORUS]
I'm in [C/G]love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear
You're [G]standing over there and I'm standing right here
The c[C/G]hoice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wa[D]nna'

[VERSE 3]
[G]You and I've been lovers, honey, you and I are friends
[G]Been that way forever since I can't remember when
[C/G]Everything happens for a reason or at least, it ough[G]ta
It's just a [D]short walk on the [Em]water

[CHORUS]
I'm in [C/G]love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear
You're [G]standing over there and I'm standing right here
The c[C/G]hoice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wa[D]nna'

[BREAK]
[Am] [C/G] [Em] [C/G] [Am] [C/G] [D]

[BRIDGE]
With the [G]storm in your hair and the salt in your eyes in the [C]cyclone
And the [G]cap of each wave like the first day that you fell in l[C]ove
And y[G]ou're in between nothing but the thin air and the [C]unknown
On a [G]night when enough couldn't possibly be e[C]nough

[VERSE 4]
E[G]verything is changing now, times are strange
You [G]know me honey like you now my name
My [C/G]heart is a silver fish on the line of your l[G]aughter
It's just a [D]short walk on the [Em]water

[CHORUS]
I'm in [C/G]love with you honey, you've got nothing to fear
You're [G]standing over there and I'm standing right here
The c[C/G]hoice is for you, I can't make it for you though I wa[D]nna

[VERSE 1]
[G]Made a good run but I've run too far
[G]Fought the battle of jalopy in this beat-up car
I'm [C/G]drawn to you honey like the sea to the fisherman's da[G]ughter
It's just a [D]short walk on the [Em]water[C/G]

[G]
