A          E
Late night carried by the wind
C#m                      G#m
It took such a long time
   C#m
To make up my mind
A             E
Everything is changing
C#m             G#m                    C#m
But I would not attempt to control you

[Chorus]
A       B
I never could help myself
E          C#m
I waste my time
A           B
It's taking a toll on my health
E          C#m
I waste my own time
A         B             E           C#m
Like Mary Magdalene I'm on my knees again
A          B           E
But if you see me as a saint
            C#m
You'd be mistaken

[Verse 2]
A                  E
Late night turning into morning blue
               C#m      G#m
It took such a long time
C#m                          A
To make up my own mind about you
A                 B           G#m                 C#m
Now the sun hangs heavy and I cannot even lift my eyes
A                B
To where it sits indifferently
G#m                  C#m
Unmoved mover of the sky

[Chorus]
A       B
I never could help myself
E          C#m
I waste my time
A           B
It's taking a toll on my health
E          C#m
I waste my own time
A         B             E           C#m
Like Mary Magdalene I'm on my knees again
A          B
But if you see me as a saint
E            C#m
You'd be mistaken

[Outro]
A               B
I am the master of my ship
G#m                       C#m
My ship the master of the sea
A               B
Through a rhetorical distinction
G#m                         C#m
I think I'm finally feeling free
A
For the first time
A
For the first time
