Rocks And Daggers by Noah And The Whale
Rocks And Daggers
capo 4th fret
C
The rocks
C
they will always hold in the sea
F
and erosion can't stop their being
C
oh no currents can defeat them
F
and I am thankful for the love
C
these rocks have always given
and although
this boat is steady now
F
one wave could pull me under
C
and I'll be stranded out at sea
F
and I will pray that those rocks
C
will be there for me
G C
cause when the sun always shines down on your shoes
G C
could be a blue blue christmas for you*
G C
'cos when the sun always shines down on your shoes
G C
could be a blue blue christmas for you
I love the way that your hair is always neat
and your skirts fall below your knees
and your love is so pure and so clean
oh, it comforts me (x4)
I love the way that you're always surprised
oh, to find truth in all my lies
'cos you trust me and ignore my disguise
oh, it comforts me (x4)
G C D
but there's no need to play with my heart (x15)
