G                   Bm     
I came around the corner
         C            G
Of the outer edge of town 
                          Bm
You were standing in the center
                      C          G
There were people gathered all around 
G                       Bm  
I'd never get through this crowd 
     C                G  
My heart went kind of numb 
G                      Bm
But you smiled when you saw me 
           C                G
and you beckoned me to come

G                                   Bm
so I struggled through the pressing mass
            C                 G               
I had a thousand things to say 
                                    Bm
but I was sure your ears were flooded 
                C                   G
And there was just too much in the way

CHORUS:
D              Dsus    D
But then you said to me
G               D                    C
come away by yourself to a lonely place for a while
           G          
well I'm sure you're tired you know 
    D                   C
I cannot even see your smile 
               G 
there's just too many people here
      D                        C
why don't you come and be with me
           G
Then you took my hand 
          D                C
And we headed out for the sea
(you simply told me that I'd be free)
VERSE 2:
I got home late this morning 
You've been gone since the other day 
They took you to the tomb 
But I guess we all go there someday

I came out here to get away 
To get some time to think 
Cause nothings making sense right now
I feel like I'm on the brink

Then on the distant shore 
I hear some strong voice say 
Cast our nets the other way

Chorus
BRIDGE:
           Am
You know things get hard
           Bm                    C   D
And the world's not stopping for me
       Am                Bm
But I know now what to do
                    C        D
And I know where I need to be 

Cause you said to me
