Verse 1

C#m    A
Oh no, what have i done
E                         A
all of these stiches have split one by one
C#m       A
and now i see the design
E                          A
the intricate framework to which i align
D              G
my anguish and my happiness
Bm                        E
i've got no time for this mess.


Verse 2

C#m        A
Come down, come down with me
E                         A
and check on the ashes of my history
C#m        A
and i cant leave them alone
E                               A
but sometimes i wish they could rot down below
D      G            Bm                      E
but on the contrary these fires flourish in me
E       G
oh......no


chorus 1

G         D
and i lay jus' 'fore i wake
A                               Bm         A
and you catch the sun and throw it down on my face
G                 D
and i know you're plotting my course
A                    Bm            A
still influencing my dreams silver seahorse
G              D
and i feel the mixture in me
A                 Bm   A       G
fire and water musical ubiquity



verse 3

C#m               A
and i know you're never quite there
E               A
satisfaction eluding you like clean air
C#m          A
one day i'll float on the tide
E                    A
silver seahorse on a string mirrors the sky
D         G                      Bm                     E
i'll be alone on the sea waiting for the sky to engulf me
E      G
oh.....no


chourus 2

G            D
but out here alone on the night
A                     Bm           A
my silver seahorse reflecting the light
G            D
i'll flash a ray cross the sea
A                      Bm              A
hoping this beam still connects you to me
G                     D
and i know the tide's changing my course
        A                          Bm       A           G
but i'm still the one who believes in my silver seahorse


end bit...all barre chords - strum whole chord


D          A
but on the whole
   Em     G     F#
or on the contrary
     Bm     Bb       A
it's not alright, alright
    D       A          Em       G     F#        Bm
and falling through defects and consequential loss
      Bb            A          E      G
it's not alright, alright..............


REPEAT CHORUS 1 to end
