[Intro]
Em* B7/D# Em* B7/D#
[Verse 1]
Em* B7/D# Late one night I had a notion Em* D An epiphany would be a better word C#dim Cadd9 So I stumbled in the dark down to the ocean B7/D# Em D And I pulled my broken heart out of the surf Em* B7/D# I had told her I did not have much to offer Em* D And I had told her I would treat her like a queen C#dim Cadd9 But I guess I wasn't worth what I would cost her B7/D# Em D So the night has brought me to this coral reef
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G So down to the water I will come Cadd9 G To raise for her this castle with my hands Cadd9 C#dim And steal away before the morning sun D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G B7 Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can
[Verse 2]
Em* B7/D# So night on night and year on year Em* D Well, I worked until my hands no longer bled C#dim Cadd9 And I let the ocean bear away my tears B7/D# Em D So that she would know that I could love her best
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G And a desert's just a sea without a shore Cadd9 G And a lonely man at worst is still a man Cadd9 C#dim And I ain't gonna cry for her no more D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G B7 Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can
[Verse 3]
Em* B7/D# I often dreamed I saw her face among the people Em* D Who'd come to see the coral fortress I had built C#dim Cadd9 But it may as well have been another seagull B7/D# Em D And the castle is there waiting for her still
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G So down to the water I will come Cadd9 G To wander through this castle on the sand Cadd9 C#dim And steal away before the morning sun D Cadd9 G Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D G Well, I don't need her love to love her all I can
