Verse 1:
E
Hold me tonight 
E/B
What happened to me 
E/C#
My head in the clouds 
E/A
Fallen so deep 
E
You came in soft 
E/B
No shoes on my feet 
E/C#              E/A
Cold and afraid
                F#m          A
It feels like I could break down
E          B              F#m
Right here on this shore 
A                D
I'll go a straight 


Chorus: 
E            E/B
Here I stand, 
                      E/C#
Where earth meets water 
                      E/A
The wind blows smoke, 
                E
across the land
              E/B 
So hear me out, 
                 E/C#
our lives get harder
                        E/A 
It slips through our fingers, 
                           
like this fist full of sand

Verse 2:
E/A             E/B
Lay down tonight 
                       E/C#
The stars as our spines
                E/A 
Summer will fade 
                         F#m   A
And it feels like I will lose you,
     E           B 
with each of the turning tides 
                          D
Till the first snow arrives 


Chorus:
E            E/B
Here I stand, 
                     E/C#
Where earth meets water 
                    E/A
The wind blows smoke, 
                E
across the land
               E/B
So hear me out, 
                    E/C#
our lives get harder
                         E/A 
It slips through our fingers, 
                           
like this fist full of sand

E            E/B
Here I stand, 
                       E/C#
Where earth meets water 
                      E/A
It slips through our fingers, 
                           E   E/B   E/C#  E/A   E~~
