Amber Eyes
Capo 4 – 6/8
[Verse 1]
Bm G
Once the honey sun kissed your amber eyes
D A
And the heat from your hand melted mine
Em D
Asleep on the beach reading the waves
Bm A
And within one glance away you faded
[Bridge]
Em D Dmaj11 Dmaj7
[Verse 2]
Bm G
Lying next to my clothes I play your guitar
D A
Warming your bed wondering where you are
Em D
Wait for the end of the lavender lie
Bm A
There you will find those Amber Eyes
[Bridge]
Em D Dmaj11 Dmaj7
[Chorus]
E G
I want to feel it all again,
F#m E
The force of the waves, heat of the sun
E G
I want to see amber eyes again
F#m E Em
The way your mouth curls when you’re smiling
[Verse 3]
Bm G
You gave me your book and you gave a goodbye
D A
That’s all I have left from Amber eyes
Em D
A thousand words in a glance you gave
Bm A
My shapeless voice away it faded
[Bridge]
Em D Dmaj11 Dmaj7
[Chorus]
E G
I want to feel it all again,
F#m E
The force of the waves, heat of the sun
E G
I want to see amber eyes again
F#m E Em
The way your mouth curls when you’re smiling
Bm C#m D A G
Bm A F#m E Em Bm
[Verse 4]
Bm G
The feeling your eyes gave to mine
D A
Hides beneath the words I write
Em D
Sometimes I find them way down below
Bm A
Dark and deep a tangle of shadows
Bridge:
Em D Dmaj11 Dmaj7
[Chorus]
E G
I want to feel it all again,
F#m E
The force of the waves, heat of the sun
E G
I want to see amber eyes again
F#m E Em
The way your mouth curls when you’re smiling

Mind Palace
{Verse 1}
C#m E6 Amaj7
A poem like a wave, drifting off the page, now I’m home
C#m E6 Amaj7
Coming from the lake, water with no wake, a whisper of
C#m E6 Amaj7
A gift of a dream at night, like a shiver down the spine, I saw
C#m E6 Amaj7
the end
[Verse 2]
Awoken by the wind,
a summer’s slumber’s end, to the light
It finally made sense,
when I found you on the edge, of the road
With a kiss from the fire at night,
when the living come to life, I saw the dead
[Verse 3]
I’m a nowhere man,
until I’m found again, in my mind
May this bright light be,
fortune for me and my mind
If thoughts like these won’t float,
they will fall on their own, light as air
Sirens
Tuning: CADGBE[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
Followed by the ocean, followed by the sea,
F#5 F#7sus4 F#m7 Dmaj7
Maybe if I go, I will be free.
Dmaj7
Born in a meadow where I began to breathe,
F#5 F#7sus4 F#m7 Dmaj7
Pacing lightly, grass up to my knee.
[Chorus]
F#m7 F#7sus4 Dmaj7
I was caught by an omen’s thrall
F#m7 F#7sus4 Em11 Dmaj7
I was held by the oceans almighty call
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
I’ve learnt to close my eyes so you will come to me
F#5 F#7sus4 F#m7 Dmaj7
I can be a child again, sit under my tree.
Dmaj7
Every night I think about how I’d like to leave
F#5 F#7sus4 F#m7 Dmaj7
Plotting down these waypoints here upon my sleeve.
[Chorus]
F#m7 F#7sus4 Dmaj7
I was caught by an omen’s thrall
F#m7 F#7sus4 Em11 Dmaj7
I was held by the oceans almighty call

[Verse 3]
F#5 F#5 (F) F#7sus4 F#7sus4 (D#)
Now I fly among the stars with one foot on the ground
F#5 F#7sus4 F#m7 Dmaj7
Near but far enough that I cannot be found.
F#5 F#5 (F) F#7sus4 F#7sus4 (D#)
A riddle rather than reply was given back to me
F#5 F#7sus4 F#m7 Dmaj7
Held so very tightly waiting for a breeze.
[Chorus]
F#m7 F#7sus4 Dmaj7
I was caught by an omen’s thrall
F#m7 F#7sus4 Em11 Dmaj7
I was held by the oceans almighty call
[Verse 4]
Dmaj7
The past a foreign country now a place where I can be
F#5 F#7sus4 F#m7 Dmaj7
The end is moving closer like a drop upon a leaf.
Dmaj7
Now I follow oceans, now I follow seas,
F#5 F#7sus4 F#m7 Dmaj7
Now I hear the sirens calling out for me.
