Ab 
G 
on the steps of the Metropolitan
C 
I was holding my breath,
Am 
hedging my bets,
D 
heavy on speculation
C 
that you were inviting me in
G 
to wander the lengths of your
D 
hallowed halls,
Am 
to be lectured on the dangers
of sinking ships.

Verse 2

hands on my shoulders

you're steering me.

that got to do with me?"

And then you say flip,

teeth.

her back is broken and I
run free."

Little stallion kicking up the sand:
Am 
D 
run free.
The cockles aren't giving
Am 
D 
up their pearls
Am 
and this is free.

So many pearls, so many pearls,
so many tossed off.

But couldn't you just get lost

on this swollen sea?
