That you and only you can give to me 

               G              D/F#       Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now

And as I start to run, I stop to breathe

(And I was nearly scared to death)

            G
And I'll be here by the ocean

Just waiting for proof that there's

sunsets and silhouette dreams

  All my sand castles fall

like the ashes of cigarettes 

    C                       D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea

I could stand here for hours

Just to ask God the question

mean nothing to no one but me?

  As hours move to minutes

  So let me think of to word it

  Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? 

C                  G                     D/F#
  If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere

I'm sure everything would find me

All that's left is just to sing

And every waves drags me to sea

Does this deafening silence

mean nothing to no one but me? Bridge:

this much you must know...we'll meet again

that you will come for me
