Misc Originals – Christopher Blue - Love Affair With The Ocean (Guitar)

                G
Well I was only a child of about four or five,

                D
When the blooming was beginning in the back of my mind

        C
‘Till that point in life it’s like I couldn’t see

G
But I could feel the water in between of my toes,

        D
So I jumped right in and felt it rush up my nose

    C
It stung in my eyes real bad and I couldn’t breathe

D
It started there,

        C
My love affair,

        G
With the sea.

        G
It was on the golden coast I found a Mexican girl,

        C
A feeble little senorita ignorant to the world,

        D
She drew me a picture of the beauty that I

        G
Hadn’t seen.

        G
And up until that point I’d never been deep before,

        D
It was amazing, I was weightless, in my ears was a roar,

        C
And no matter how I wished it I could never get my feet

        G
On the floor.

D
I was afraid

C
I wouldn’t make it

G
Back outside

        D
That’s not to say,

        C
If I’d have stayed

        G
That I would mind.

        Am
And I loved your hair,

                C
Whatever color it came in

                G
If I could paint I’d paint your nose

                        D
If I could paint I’d paint your nose

        Am
And I loved your smile,

                C
Whatever flavor it came in

                G
The smell of wine from in your throat

                D
The smell of wine from in your throat

        Am
Where are you, dear?

        C
Are you lying still

G
Asleep

D
Next to me?

                Am
Where are you, dear?

                C
Won’t you reach over and

        G               D
Shake me from this dream?

                        G
Before you have to leave.

G
And then there came a woman who had indian eyes,

        D
She reminded me of sun, the sandy beach and the tide,

        C
And the color I’d be if I floated all day on the ocean.

        G
And the love I later found in an economist girl,

                D
Reminded me of seashells in symmetrical swirls,

                C
Each one cradling the echo of a great big collective world ocean.

        D
I crawled ashore,

        C
And poured my form

        G
Out on that beach.

        D
And somewhere there,

        C               G
I must have fallen to sleep.

        D       C       G
And I forgot everything.
