[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

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 on my shoulder

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

No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn

Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

[Verse 4]
Bm F#m A E7 Bm
She can see him on the jetty that they used to know
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 or the railway line
A
She can still hear him whisper
E Bm
Let's go down to the waterline, come on
