Standard (EADGBE)

I'd like to know you as a promise kept well

 A ballast of incessant dispel

 A stone in the water, a stillness in time

 The peace that I'd left home to find ~

 To find ~ I ~

To find ~ To find ~

What must I say to keep you all day, any day?

What must I say to change your mind

 Maybe if I could turn off the tape

 Rub the death from my face

 Head home, and forget all my songs

 I'm changing the shape of this miserable place

Maybe then, you'd wanna solve me

 'Cause I'd like to tell you I've been dripping with sin

 Your skiff left this beach once again

 I turned from the water, not a thought in my mind

 Of the peace that I'd left home to find

I ~ I ~

 And what must I say to keep you all day, any day?

What must I say to change your mind?

 Maybe if I could stop

Turn off the tape, rub the death from my face

 Head home, and forget all my songs

 I'm changing the shape of this miserable place

 And maybe then you'd wanna solve me

What must I say to keep you all day, any day?

What must I say to change your mind?

 Maybe if I could stop

~The End~

If you're not a fan of bar chords, then you can tune a half-step down and play

the chords a half-step up. (G, C, Em, Am, etc...) I hope this helps.
