Secret Harbor

C   F  Bb   C

[Verse 1]
  Em                         C
I slipped into your harbour, past the pirate ships
    F                   G          F
The lights were low, my sails were down
    Em                        C
The seal of sacred silence was on my lips
    F                   G          F
I prayed the storms were weathered now


[Verse 2]
  Em                              C
I climbed aboard at midnight, the sky was black
    F                G      F
The gamble lost, the tables turned
    Em                     C
And even in the darkness I heard you laugh
    F              G       F        C
And wept as all my bridges burned


[Chorus]
                          F                C
There is a secret harbour somewhere north
                               F       C
A place where ships are not in flames
                        F               C
A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes
                               Am
A place where no one knows your name


[Verse 3]
    Bm                     G
You said how can you be so innocent
    C             D       C
You were my demon all the while
  Bm                           G
I saw the skull and crossbones on your mast
    C          D        C
The predator behind the smile


[Verse 4]
  Em                          C
I cursed you as the wind blew through my sails
  F                  G         F
I loved you till the moonlight drowned
  Em                                 C
I sought you through the streets and waterways
   F               G       F        C
My calling for you still resounds


[Chorus]
                          F                C
There is a secret harbour somewhere north
                               F       C
A place where ships are not in flames
                        F               C
A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes
                                Am
A place where no one knows your name


[Bridge]
    Dm7                       Em                F
You wooed me with your wicked smile that night
                             Em     Eb
And then you promised me the moon
                         Gm
I saw it floating in the waters deep
    Eb                  D
And then it disappeared too soon


[Verse 5]
  Em                          C
I sailed out of your harbour, through the rising tide
   F             G           F
My memories were filled with pain
  Em                           C
I drifted towards the sunrise, lost in fog
     F           G          F
Your echo had me wrapped in chains


[Verse 6]
     Em                          C
Your promises were drifting like men who'd drowned
    F            G        F
The bitter water beckoned me
  Em                           C
I wrapped the shadows round me once again
    F                          G      F        C
And sailed through storms that set me free (set me free), set me free


[Chorus]
                          F                C
There is a secret harbour somewhere north
                               F       C
A place where ships are not in flames
                        F               C
A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes
                                Am     C
A place where no one knows your name


[Chorus]
                          F                C
There is a secret harbour somewhere north
                               F       C
A place where ships are not in flames
                        F               C
A cove of beauty hidden from your eyes
                                Am     Dm7
A place where no one knows your name


[Outro]
                    G             Dm7
I washed my face in falling rain
                        G    Am  F    Am
And swore that I'd find love again_______
