I'm also pretty sure that Matthew Sweet is singing backing vocals.) (D) (G) (D) I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above. (A7sus4) I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again. (D) (G) If you were here once, you were here a hundred times. (D) (A7sus4) If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.

^BIf you were here ^Aonce, you were here a hundred ^Btimes. Ohhhhhh ^A

^DBest as a wishing star, I ^Gsaw you better far ^Daway, and I felt obligation, and ^A7sus4heard your voice again. ^DHear the rush of water, ^Gpassing over the ^Dshoals. Hear my heartbeat rather, if ^A7sus4I reached out tonight. ^BIf I reach out ^Atonight and find I can't ^Bfight it, and look to the ^Astars, and wander towards a

^Dheartfelt obligation, a ^Gplace that you called ^Dhome and heard your voice ^A7sus4again, but it's too late. ^DYou left long ago, and now you're ^Gprobably dead and gone, and ^DI'm left here with the ^A7sus4water and the shoals and a ^Btainted obli^Agation. ^BOhhhhhh ^A
