[Intro]
[C/G]

[C/G]Babe I know [C/G]it swirls around me
[C/G]Like the sun [C/G]shines on the coast
[C/G]Like a weathered, [C/G]torn, once sturdy barn
[C/G]Used to give [C/G]you shelter and warmth
[C/G]It's clear, [C/G]I can see
[C/G]The dry grass [C/G]at my feet
[C/G]As I wait to go, [C/G]you'd come home, just say
[C/G]"Baby I know"
[C/G]Babe I know
[C/G]Baby I know
[C/G]The course [C/G]has drifted here
[C/G]As we swim to land, mouths [C/G]full of the sand, just say
[C/G]"Baby I know"
[C/G]I'm all tired and [C/G]my throat's so dry
[C/G]I feel I'm [C/G]barely holding on
[C/G]I'm gonna sit around here [C/G]with this abscessed fear and say
[C/G]"Baby I know"
[C/G]♪
[C/G]Now there's something that I [C/G]want that I'll never be
[C/G]Burned out [C/G]full of love
[C/G]Now sometimes I lay [C/G]here half awake and say
[C/G]"Baby I know"
[C/G]Now sometimes I lay [C/G]here half awake and say
[C/G]"Baby I know"
