Chords

[Intro] Am F C E x2 [Verse 1]
         Am              F
You keep telling me I'm beautiful

      C                  E
But I feel a little less so each time

     Am          F
Your love is so colorful

      C                  E
It flashes like a neon sign

     Am          F
But I finally drove out where

      C                  E
The sky is dark enough to see stars

     Am          F
And I found I missed no one

      C                                   E
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars
[Chorus]
  Am           F
I hope I never see

     C        E
The ocean again

 Am          F
Pushing and pulling at me

         C            E
As I go deeper and deeper in

     Am          F
Til I'm so far from my shore

      C                  E
So far from what I came here for

           Am
I let you surround me

          F
I let you drown me

C            E
Out with your din
N.C And then I learned how to swim [Verse 2]
       Am              F
I was floating above myself

      C                  E
Watching her do just what you wanted

     Am          F
Poor little friendly ghost

      C                  E
Wondering why her whole house feels haunted

     Am          F
I told myself I was strong enough

      C                  E
That I had plenty of blood to give

     Am                   F
And each elbow cradled a needle

      C                                   E
But listless and faint ain't no way to live
[Chorus]
  Am           F
I hope I never see

     C        E
The ocean again

 Am          F
Pushing and pulling at me

         C            E
As I go deeper and deeper in

     Am          F
Til I'm so far from my shore

      C                  E
So far from what I came here for

           Am
I let you surround me

          F
I let you drown me

C            E
Out with your din
N.C And then I learned how to swim [Verse 3]
         Am              F
You keep telling me I'm beautiful

      C                  E
But I feel a little less so each time

     Am          F
Your love is so colorful

      C                  E
It flashes like a neon sign

     Am          F
But I finally drove out where

      C                  E
The sky is dark enough to see stars

     Am          F
And I found I missed no one

      C                                   E
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars
