This tab is in Standard tuning.

Intro:
B                              E
She says today is gonna be the last one
B                                E
I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
B                                   E
She's rolling round the town with a fast gun
B                              E
And I know I can't be there to catch her when she falls

Pre-Chorus:
     F#                               E
Well half way down is half way out of here
             F#                                     E  
We're either half way drowned or half way round the pier
                     B
When you're that far gone
          E  B       E
Ooooooooooo  Ooooooo


Verse 1:

Electric guitar (with delay) -

E|--12--12--12--11--11--|

             B                                              
I walked the steps to her apartment with the window by the shore
    E
And saw her curled on the tile through a crack in the door
B
I've been searching for the words I don't know how to say
          E
I've been searching for the words to make it go away
        B 
I spent all of last night and the night before that
        E
With my feet in the sand and the wind on my back
           B
Watching a ship sail out to a blue wide sea
           E
There must be more than this with a kiss we can't see

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

Chorus 1:
B                                     E
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
         
She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
        G#m                                E
Singing I can't take it, I can't take anymore

Just one reason, one to believe in

That's not that far 
              B
Not that far gone

Verse 2:
[Same chords as verse 1]
I held the back of her head and laid her in the bed
And watched the sheets raise and fall to the rhythm of her breath
turn the lock on the handle and slipped down the stairs
To the cover of the night with diamonds in the eair
I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water
To the rhythm of my feet a sister and a daughter
To the rhythm of the sea with the breeze in the autumn
As it blows through the trees my hands into the water

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

Chorus 2:
B                                     E
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
         
She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
        G#m                                E
Singing I can't take it, I can't take anymore

Just one reason, one to believe in  

It's not that far 
    G#m
And I can't break her
                  E
I can't break her fall

She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
G#m
I can't take it 
             E
I can't take anymore

[Repeat Intro]
