[Verso 1]
 
G           G7 
Casting a shadow 
C 
I'm holding the light 
G             G7 
Where did they go? 
C 
The ships in the night 
G              B/D# 
Moored on the shore 
Em            A7 
But I love the view 
Am7        D            C G 
Me, my loneliness, and you 
 


[Verso 2]
 
G             Dm 
Birds in the nest 
C 
They grow up too soon 
G              Dm 
And fly off to sea 
C 
If only we knew 
G                    B7 
The space that they leave 
Em                   Am7 
Is a chance to sing true 
Am7        D7           C G 
Me, my loneliness, and you 
 


[Refrão]
 
Eb 
I'm out on my own 
Dm7 
I'm nobody's fool 
Eb 
Got stories to tell 
Dm7 
And freedom to lose 
Cm7                  G/B 
I can get off this island 
F            C 
Nothing to prove 
Am7        D            C G 
Me, my loneliness, and you

[Verso 3]
 
G 
Finding the good 
Cmaj7 
The breeze on my skin 
G 
A rose in the garden, 
C 
Or the light streaming in 
G           B/D# 
Holding my shadow 
Em7             A7 
It's part of me, too 
Am7        D7           C G 
Me, my loneliness, and you

And the freedom to lose 
Cm7                  G/B
