Dire Straits - Down To The Waterline: chords

Bm       F#m   A         E7    Bm
Sweet surrender on the quayside
Bm    F#m   A           E7       Bm
You remember we used to run and hide
         Bm                   F#m
In the shadows of cargoes, I take you one time,
           A
And we're counting all the numbers
 E                Bm
Down to the waterline

Well, near misses on the dogleap stairways
French kisses in the darkened doorways
A foghorn blowing out wild and cold
A policeman, he shines a light upon my shoulder

Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night
Over my shoulder all you can see
Are the pilot lights
No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

She can see him on the jetty that
They used to know
She can feel him in the places where
The sailors go
When she's walking by the river
Or the railway line
She can still hear him whisper
Let's go down to the waterline, c'mon
