[Verse 1]
Bm       F#m   A          E7    Bm
Sweet surrender on the quayside
Bm        F#m A           E7         Bm
  You remember we used to run and hide
        Bm                   F#m
In the shadows of cargoes, I take you one time,
          A
And we're counting all the numbers
E                  Bm
Down to the waterline
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm    F#m           A          E7     Bm
 Near misses on the dogleap stairways
Bm      F#m           A          E7         Bm
 French kisses in the darkened doorways
  Bm                  F#m
A foghorn blowing out wild and cold
  A                        E                Bm
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder

[Verse 3]
Bm           F#m    A        E7     Bm
Up comes a coaster, fast and silent in the night
Bm      F#m           A       E7      Bm
Over my shoulder, all you can see are pilot lights
   Bm                       F#m
No money in our jackets and jeans are torn
     A                       E             Bm
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

[Verse 3]
        Bm             F#m              A       E7  Bm
She can see him on the jetty where they used to go
        Bm              F#m              A          E7  Bm
She can feel him in the places where the sailors go
           Bm                           F#m
When she's walking by the river and the railway line
     A
She can still hear him whisper
E                    Bm
Let's go down to the waterline, come on.
