Chords and lyrics for Atlantic by The Weather Station (key of Dm).

Intro

|Dm |Dm |C |C F |G |G |

Verse 1

"My [Dm]god," I thought
"My god, what a [C]sunset"
Blood red floods the [F]Atlantic[G]
With a [Dm]wine in my hand
Laid back in the grass of some stranger's [C]field
While shearwaters [F]reeled [G]overhead

Chorus 1

Thinking I should [F]get all this [G]dying off[Dm] of my [C]mind
I should [F]really know [G]better than to [Dm]read the [C]headlines
Does it [F]matter if I [G]see it?
No [Dm]really, can I [C]not just [F]cover my [G]eyes?

Verse 2

In the [Dm]half light, soft wind on my skin
[C] Pink clouds massing on the [F]cliffs
Thinking[G] how can I touch this
How can I touch this softest [Dm]petal
Softest stem, softest[C] leaf
Bending, green,[F] in my [G]palm?

Chorus 2

Thinking I should get [F]all this [G]dying off[Dm] of my [C]mind
I should [F]really know [G]better than to [Dm]read the [C]headlines
Does it [F]matter if I [G]see?
No [Dm]really, can I [C]not just [F]cover my [G]eyes?
Oh [Dm]tell me, why [C]can't I just [F]cover my [G]eyes?
