Bm       F#m   A   E
Sweet surrender on the quayside

      You remember we used to run and hide

[Chorus (1)]

Bm7       Bm                      F#m
   In the shadow of cargoes I take   you one time
          A                       D E                    Bm7
And we're counting all the numbers  down to the waterline

  Near   misses on the dog leap stairways
Bm7 Bm      F#m          A            E       Bm7
      French   kisses in the darkened doorways

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Bm                  F#m
Foghorn blowing out wild and cold
  A                D      E                Bm7
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder

Bm         F#m     A       E       Bm7
Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the nihgt
Bm      F#m         A    E               Bm7
Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
   Bm                                F#m
No money in our jackets and our jeans   are torn
     A              D        E            Bm7
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

A        Bm      F#m          A               E
 She can see him on the jetty where they used to go
Bm7            Bm       F#m              A           E
   She can feel  him in the places where the sailors go

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
Bm7           Bm                           F#m
   When she's walking by the river and the railway line
        A                     D
She can still hear him whisper
E                    Bm7
Let's go down to the waterline
