Verse
F#m D
I waited by your bedside,
Daug Bm
And couldn't close my eyes all night.
G F#m
I named you like a prayer.
D
It's anybody's guess how,
Daug Bm
The angel of doubt came down,
G F#m
And crept into your bed.
D Daug Bm
But after we danced to the shipping forecast,
G F#m
The words escaped your mouth:
D A D
"I know it's gotta stop love, but I don't know how."
D
Now the stairs forget your shoes,
Daug Bm
And the gate don't creak for want of you.
G F#m
But the jury's out on me.
D
We're wise beyond our years,
Daug Bm
But we're good at bad ideas, my love.
G A
Or so it seems to be.
Bridge:
D
Shine a little light,
Daug
Don't wrestle with the night,
Bm G
Don't think about the future now.
D A D
I know it's gotta stop love but I don't know how.
Chorus:
Em G D A
My little one, my kettle drum,
Em G D A
My babel tongue, my come-undone,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dry_the_river/new_ceremony_acoustic_crd.html ]
Em G D A
My prison kiss, my dying wish,(I know I had a message at the start.)
Em F#m G A
But it up and abandoned us, when we were sleeping in our beds.

Sand beneath our house.

I know it's gotta stop love, but I don't know how.
