AMAZING SONG! Passenger has done really well getting Josh Pyke on this song; Josh Pyke

but his is a bit harder to get.) The video shows the chords Josh plays, so if you really

And I'm not 100% sure on Mike's variation of G, but this one sounds fine. But yeah, it's

Capo 6

Intro
G  C  G  C


Verse 1
Am                              C
You're just a stones throw from me
                                G
But throwing stones could never be
                      D
The perfect way to start


Verse 2
Am                                  C
Cos sticks and stones make broken bones
                         G
Empty words make broken homes
                             D
But its love that broke our hearts


Chorus 1
Am        C                 G     D
And if I knew what you were thinking
Am        C                 G     D
I would stop this boat from sinking
Am               C            G
But darling you are like the sand
              D                 Am
And you're slipping through my hands
        C                       G*   G
I just don't know what you're thinking

G  C  G*  G  C


Verse 3
Am                        C
You're just a photo in a drawer
                              G
But photographs are not much more
                      D
Than ghosts we can't forget


Verse 4
Am                          C
You're just a red rag to a bull
                             G
You're just a false hope for a fool
                            D
But it's as close as I can get


Chorus 2
Am        C                 G     D
And if I knew what you were thinking
Am        C                 G     D
I would stop this boat from sinking
Am               C            G
But darling you are like the sun
         D              Am
Setting when my evening comes
        C                     G
I just don't know what you're thinking

Bridge
Am                            Em
And I will stop the sky from falling
G
If I knew
D
If I knew
Am                        Em
And I will love you every morning
      G
If I knew
     D
If I knew

Ohoh Oh


Chorus 3
Am                          G     D
And if I knew what you were thinking
Am                          G     D
I would stop this boat from sinking
Am               C             G
But darling you are like the stars
          D               Am
I know I can't reach that far.
             C                    G
I just don't know what you're thinking
