[Opening]
[G] A certain type of wind has swept [Bm]me up,
But till it’s found each bone I, I’m [C]overcome,
There is an icy breath that escapes my [G]lips,
And I am lost again…

[verse 2]
[G]A certain type of darkness has [Bm]stolen me.
Under a quiet mask of [C]uncertainty.
I wait for light like water from the [G]sky.
And I am lost again…

[chorus]
In the [C]sea of lovers without [G]ships.
And lovers without [Em]sight, you’re the only [D]way out of this.
[C]Sea of lovers losing [G]time.
And lovers losing [Em]hope, will you let me [D]follow [C]you.
[D]Wherever [Em]you go, [Am] bring [Bm]me [C]home.

[verse 3]
[G]A certain type of silence has filled my [Bm]voice
I scream beneath the water and make no [C]noise
All my prayers were quiet and never [G]heard
And I am lost again

[chorus]
In the [C]sea of lovers without [G]ships
And lovers without [Em]sight, you’re the only [D]way out of this
[C]Sea of lovers losing [G]time
And lovers losing [Em]hope, will you let me [D]follow [C]you
[D]Wherever [Em]you go, [Am] bring [Bm]me [C]home.

[verse 4]
[G]A certain type of wind has swept me [Bm]up.
But till it’s found each bone I, I’m [C]overcome.
There is an icy breath that escapes my [G]lips. And I am lost again.

[Closing]
In the [C]sea of lovers without [G]ships.
And lovers without [Em]sight, you’re the only [D]way out of this.
[C]Sea of lovers losing [G]time.
And lovers losing [Em]hope, you’re the only [D]way out of this.

[chorus]
[C]Sea of lovers without [G]ships.
And lovers without [Em]sight, you’re the only [D]way out of this.
[C]Sea of lovers losing [G]time.
And lovers losing [Em]hope, will you let me [D]follow [C]you.
[D]Wherever [Em]you go, [Am] bring [Bm]me [C]home.
