Gmaj7/F# 220002 [Intro] Em D C x4 [Verse]
     Em          D               C
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in

      Em          D              C
In my head, in my heart, in my soul

    Em              D               C
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again

             Em                  D                     C
Well I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, don't think so
[Chorus]
     C                  G/B
Well that is that and this is this

    Am                              G/B
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get

         C           G/B          Am           G/B
You get away from me.  You get away from me

   C                          G/B
Collected my belongings and I left the jail

     Am                                G/B
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell

         C            G/B          Am
I had to think awhile.  I had to think awhile
[Instrumental] Em D C x4 [Verse]
    Em             D                C
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?

        Em            D                 C
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul

    C                G/B              Am             G/B
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old

             C                   G/B               Am        G/B
Well I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I hope so
[Chorus]
     C                  G/B
Well that is that and this is this

    Am                              G/B
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get

         C           G/B          Am           G/B
You get away from me.  You get away from me

   C                          G/B
Collected my belongings and I left the jail

     Am                                G/B
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell

         C            G/B          Am            G/B
I had to think awhile.  I had to think awhile

     C                  G/B
Well that is that and this is this

         Am                             G/B
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed

         C        G/B       Am G/B
When the ocean met the sky

G/B               C                   G/B                    Am G/B
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye

G/B        C            G/B          Am G/B
When the Earth folded in on itself

                 C
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell
Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath." You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death? You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death? [Instrumental] Em D G/B Em D G/B Gmaj7/F# Em D G/B Em D G/B Gmaj7/F# [Verse]
    Em             D                G/B
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?

        Em            D                 G/B Gmaj7/F#
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul

    Em            D                   G/B
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind

             Em                  D                  C
Well I don't mind, I don't mind, how the hell could I mind?
[Chorus]
     C                  G/B
Well that is that and this is this

    Am                              G/B
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get

         C           G/B          Am           G/B
You get away from me.  You get away from me

     C                  G/B
Well that is that and this is this

         Am                             G/B
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed

         C        G/B       Am G/B
When the ocean met the sky

G/B          C                      G/B                C
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
