G C On our last trip to the coast G D We watched the boats sail the sea G C G "How effortlessly they float" G D G You turned and said to me G C And sedately I sat there G D In my quiet mist of rage G C G How I wanted to tell you Am D But I was hushed by my shame [Chorus] Am D So when the waves come rolling in G C Then I won’t turn the tide Am D And in the line of fire G C You’ll set me aside Am D G So go on Richard let go G C And I can still remember G D The laughter in a stranger’s face G C G And the way you would tell me G D G To slow down my pace G C See no living is that easy G D No living is that fair G C G Of course I was going to lose you Am D Were you ever even there? Am D Were you ever even there? [Chorus] Am D So when the waves come rolling in G C Then I won’t turn the tide Am D And in the line of fire G C You’ll set me aside Am D G So go on Richard let go Am D G So go on Richard let go
