[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G Gsus2 Em/D And honestly, I have been begging for answers Dsus4 Cadd9 That you and only you can give to me G Gsus2 Em/D A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now Dsus4 Cadd9 And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
G Gsus2 And I was nearly scared to death Em/D (Why you left in paragraphs) Dsus4 Why you left in paragraphs Cadd9 (The words were nearly over us) G Gsus2 The words were nearly over us Em/D Dsus4 You stop and turn and grab your bags
[Chorus 1]
G
And I'll be here by the ocean Just waiting for proof that there's
Cadd9 sunsets and silhouette dreams Gsus2 Em/D All my sand castles fall Gsus2 G like the ashes of cigarettes Cadd9 Gsus2 And every waves drags me to sea G I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
Cadd9 "Is everyone here make-believe?" Gsus2 Em/D With a tear in His voice Gsus2 G He said, "Son, that's the question." Cadd9 Does this deafening silence Dsus4 mean nothing to no one but me? e|x------------------------------------------------------------------| B|3---3---------------3------------------3-------------3-------------| G|0-0---0---------0--------0---------0-------0-------0---------0-----| D|0-------0-----0---0----0---0-----0---0---0---0-----------2h4---0---| A|x------------------------------3-----------------3-----------------| E|3-----------3------------------------------------------------------| e|-------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3----------3-------3-------------3----------------3---------| G|---0-----0--------0-0-----0-0-------0------0---------0-----0----0~-| D|---0-0---0-0--------0-------0-----0---0------0---0h4---4-----4-----| A|--------------------------------3----------------------------------| E|0--------------2--------3------------------------------------------| e|x------------------------------------------------------------------| B|3---3---------------3------------------3-------------3-------------| G|0-0---0---------0--------0---------0-------0-------0---------0-----| D|0-------0-----0---0----0---0-----0---0---0---0-----------2h4---0---| A|x------------------------------3-----------------3-----------------| E|3-----------3------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------| B|-------3----------3-------3-------------3------3~---| G|---0-----0--------0-0-----0-0-------0------0---0~---| D|---0-0---0-0--------0-------0-----0---0------0-x----| A|--------------------------------3--------------3~---| E|0--------------2--------3---------------------------| [Interlude] Cadd9 e|3~------3----------------------3~---------------| B|3~------0h1/3------------------3~---------------| G|0~------0-----------0----------0~-------0-------| D|x-------x-------2h4---0-------------2h4---0-----| A|3~------3---------------3-------------------3---| E|------------------------------------------------|
[Verse 2]
(Play the above interlude lead for the first half of the Verse 2)
Cadd9
As hours move to minutes And minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately awaiting
But my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark
Cadd9 G Gsus2 So let me think of to word it Em/D Dsus4 Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? Cadd9 G Gsus2 If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere Em/D I'm sure everything would find me Dsus4 All that's left is just to sing
[Chorus 2]
G
And I'll be here by the ocean Just waiting for proof that there's
Em/D sunsets and silhouette dreams Cadd9 All my sand castles fall Gsus2 like the ashes of cigarettes Dsus4 Em/D Gsus2 And every waves drags me to sea G I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
Em/D "Is everyone here make-believe?" Cadd9 With a tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Dsus4
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G And you'll sing to me sweet until then Cadd9 G I may never sail Virginia again Cadd9 Dsus4 Alas this current moves slow for me D#maj7-5 A7sus4 Cadd9 this much you must know... we'll meet again Cadd9 And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death Cadd9 Tell me once again that you Em/D Gsus2 will love me till the death G And should I die, you swear Dsus4 Cadd9 that you will come for me Em/D Gsus2 G Dsus4 As I fade away, you reach out your arms Cadd9 (And please don't let me go) Em/D Gsus2 G Dsus4 Cadd9 And please don't let me go Cadd9 (And please don't let me go) Em/D Gsus2 G Dsus4 Cadd9 And please don't let me go e|3~---3~-----------------| B|3~---3~-----------------| G|0~---2~-----------------| D|2~---0~-----------------| A|2~---0~-----------------| E|0~---2~---3-2-3-5-3-2---|
