When You Come (N. Finn)

NOTE:

-- Oh, go ahead. try it with a 12-string. i lost my head when i did.

INTRO: E Esus* E Esus

E

when you come across the sea

D(9)*

me like a beacon guiding you to safety

the sooner the better now

E

and when you come the hills

will breathe like a baby

D(9)

pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean

the sooner the better now

E

when you come to cover me with your kisses

D(9)

fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den

E

I'll know you by the thunderclap

D(9)

pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions

C#m

and that is why

A E

I stumble to my knees

B A

and why underneath the heavens

B A

with the stars burning and exploding

B A G

I know I could never let you down

E

when you come

E

when you come like an iceberg float in darkness

D(9)

smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea

I should know you better now

E

when you come your majesty to entrap me

D(9)

prince of light receding

the sooner the better now

E

and when you come to cover me

D(9)

with your kisses hard like armour

the sooner the better now

E A B E

I'll know you by

the thunderclap

D(9)

pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions

and that is why

I stumble to my knees

and why underneath the heavens

with the stars burning and exploding

I know I could never let you down

E D(9)

she came out of the water

E

into my horizon

D(9)

like a cumulo nimbus

E

coming in from a distance

D(9)

burning and exploding

E

burning and exploding

D(9)

like a slow volcano

E D(9) [etc. ... ]

when you come

cover the ground with ashes

when you come
