Riff 1 = D - C - A

I spent a year in the mouth of a whale

 With a flame and a book of signs.

 You'll never know how hard I've failed

 Trying to make up for lost time.

Once I believed in things unseen

 I was blinded by the dark

 Out of the multitude to me,

 He came and broke my heart

 When the dust in the field has flown,

 And the youngest of hearts has grown,

 And you doubt you will ever be free,

Riff1 Riff1

Don't bail on me

River is wide and oh so deep,

 And it winds and winds around

 I dream we're happy in my sleep,

 Floating down and down and down

 And the tide rushes by where we stand,

 And the earth underneath turns to sand,

 And we're waiting for someone to see,

Riff1 Riff1

Don't bail on me

Tell ma I loved the man

 Even though I turned and ran

 Lovely and fine I could have been

Laying down in the palm of his hand

Laying down in the palm of his hand

Laying down in the palm of his hand

Staying down in the palm of his hand

 In the morning you wait for the sun,

 And secretly hope it won't come,

 But time washes everyone clean,

Riff1

Honey now, don't bail on me

Riff1 Riff1

Don't bail on me

Riff1 Riff1

Don't bail on me
