E   A           E     A

      E                                                                   
The white moon appears like a hole in the sky 
      A
the mangroves grow quiet 
       E                                                                     
In la Brisa de la Palma A teenage Rasputin 
               A
takes the sting from a gin 
            E
"When a woman learns to walk she's not dependent anymore" 
   A
A line from a letter, May 24 
      E                                                        
And out on the bay the current is strong 
   A
A boat can go lost 
 
       E                    
But I didn't know someone could be so lonesome 
                                                      E     A
Didn't know a heart could be tied up and held for ransom 

             E             A
So take your shoes and go outside 
E                A            
Stride over stride 
E                A            
Walk to that tide 
           E                 A            
'Cause the door is open wide 
 
                E                                                             
Turned the fan off and went for a walk 
          A
by the lights down on Shield Street 
      E                                                                         
The birds in the trees open their wings 
           A
and he goes home again 
E                                                                             
He dreams resistance, they talk commitment 
A
Things change over long distance 
             E                                                                                       
Took the shirt from his back and the eyes from his head 
      A
and left him for dead 

         E                            
But I didn't know someone could be so lonesome 
                                                      E       A            
Didn't know a heart could be tied up and held for ransom 
 
            E                A            
So take your shoes and go outside 
E                A            
Stride over stride 
E                A            
Walk to that tide 
          E                A            
Because the door is open wide 


E                A            
They took pride 
E                     A            
They took your pride 
E                A            
They took pride 
E                     A            
They took your pride 
 

      E                            
But I didn't know someone could be so lonesome 
                                                       E         A            
Didn't know a heart could be tied up and held for ransom 

                    E                A            
So take your shoes and go outside 
E                A            
Stride over stride 
E                A            
Walk to that tide 
                   E                           A            
Because the door is always open wide. 
E          A            
Bye bye pride 
               E                A            
'Cause the door is always open wide...
