Intro -x4-: C  C  F

     C             F
Well I'm so sad tonight
        C                  F
And the words won't come out right
     C                    F
It's been a long day on the track
        C              F
And it's stamina that I lack


C           Am     F     C
So won't you run to me tonight
G                        F
Do not pretend that we're just lovers
C   G    F    G    F   
But I'll only ever be
  C  G   F   G    F G C
a middle distance runner

Interlude: C F C F

  C                    F
Well my heart is beating hard
  C                            F
And the mouth with the shot at the start
  C                      F
And my legs tremble from strain
  C                        F
But by the finish line I am drained


C           Am     F     C
So won't you run to me tonight
G                        F
Do not pretend that we're just lovers
C   G    F    G    F   
But I'll only ever be
  C  G   F   G    F G C
a middle distance runner

Interlude -x2-: C F C F
  
 C               F
Well I'm so proud tonight
 C                 F
Of the woman you've become
 C                      F
And I'm just too tired to fight
 C                F
So my darling I'll succomb


C                 Am     F     C
But you'll have to run to me tonight
G                        F
Tonight I will love you forever
C   G    F    G    F   
But I'll only ever be
  C  G   F   G    F G C
a middle distance runner

for the beginning part, keep one finger on the E sting on the 3rd fret. Starting on the 4th fret of the C string, go down a fret with each note. In the song, it sounds like “C E C E C E C E E”, like with every C pluck you move down. You can also just eyeball it, do whatever you think sounds right 🙂

Biography

Sea Wolf is an American indie rock band led by Alex Brown Church. The band began in 2003 when Church, a founding member of Irving found that many of his songs did not fit with their style. With a rotating ensemble of backing musicians, Sea Wolf played locally in Los Angeles and began recording demos in Seattle with producer Phil Ek (Band of Horses, The Shins, Fleet Foxes). In 2007 they signed to Dangerbird Records and released the Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low EP and a full-length titled Leaves In The River.
