A Time To Be So Small

   Bbmaj7                               C
We saw you from the urchin's side from under the boat
   Bbmaj7                      C
We saw you making knots, we saw you get the rope
   Bbmaj7                               C
The boy appearing on the deck, you're making it lurch
   Bbmaj7                       C
The bubble of your interest's ready to burst

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm Am                    Bbmaj7  C
    He whistles and he runs

Bbmaj7  Am7 (x3)
Dm   F   Am   C  Dm (x2)

[Verse 2]

   Bbmaj7                       C
We saw you in distraction, a sleeping, slow despair
   Bbmaj7                     C
Rehearsing interaction, he wasn't even there
   Bbmaj7                            C
A creature is a creature though you wish you were the wind
   Bbmaj7                             C
The boat will not stop moving if you tie him up until the end

[Chorus]

                    Bbmaj7             Am7
He whistles and he runs, so hold him fast
                    Bbmaj7             Am7
Breathe the burn, you want to let it last
                    Bbmaj7             Am7
He might succumb to what you haven't seen
                Bbmaj7                 Am7
He has a keen eye for what you used to be
           Dm                         Bbmaj7
When the cadaverous mob saves their doors for the dead men

Dm          Am7
You cannot leave
           Dm                         Am7
When the cadaverous mob saves its doors for the dead men
Dm          Am7
You cannot leave

[Outro]

F F Dm Dm
F Bb Dm Dm (x7)
           F        Bb             Dm
When the cadaverous mob saves its doors for the dead men
F     Bb     Dm
You cannot leave
