Had we never

C       C/B       Am          G 
  come across the vastness of pavement the
Fmaj7/C       Dm            Fmaj7/C         G
barrenness of waves and the grayness of the sea
C       C/B     Am            G 
  Never lost or ne'er been misguided
Dm          Fmaj7/C       Dm      G     C
  We'd have ne'er reached seas so shi-i-ning

C              C/B      Am        G 
  Or come from out of a hansom in Camden to a 
Fmaj7/C    Dm             Fmaj7/C          G
bar in the basement while all the while it rained
C          C/B          Am             G 
  Or come around to the friendliest of faces
Dm      Fmaj7/C Dm   G     C C/B Am G Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G
  Handsomest in ugly pla-a-ces

C              C/B        Am         G 
  Or come from out of the tunnels we dig in to see that
Fmaj7/C         Dm         Fmaj7/C         G
tunneling's not living and working doesn't work
C            C/B       Am          G 
  Or come to find that loving is a labour
Dm             Fmaj7/C  Dm        G   C C/B Am G Dm Fmaj7/C Dm G
  and Labour's life and life's fore-e-ver

C            C/B      Am            G 
  Or come to see that keeping's not giving you
Fmaj7/C         Dm        Fmaj7/C               G
get what you've given You get what you deserve
C            C/B      Am         G 
  And in the midst of all of the action
Dm             Fmaj7/C     Dm   G     C 
Maybe you only there found satisfa-ac-tion
---------------------------------------------------------------------
For this verse, use Am(v2) and G(v2). 
Am E/G# G D/F# (2x)

Am        E/G#     G              D/F#
  Chasing sea-foam dreams around another dirty old town
Am     E/G#    G                       D/F#
  Parallel run streams toward the gray ocean from the green ground
Am          E/G#      G                D/F#
  "'Oed und leer, das meer" but look beneath the glassy surface
Am        E/G#      G                    D/F#
  All the songs you hear down there they have a purpose
---------------------------------------------------------------------
C C/B Am G Fmaj7/C Dm Fmaj7/C G

C        C/B    Am          G 
  All in all we cannot stop singing we
Fmaj7/C      Dm         Fmaj7/C       G
cannot start sinking we swim until it ends
C          C/B      Am        G 
  They may kill and we may be parted
Dm        Fmaj7/C  Dm     G        C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
  We will ne'er be broken hear-art-ed

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 (3x)
Fsus2 Fsus2 Fsus2 Fsus2 C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 (repeat until end on C)
