As recorded by The Coral (From the 2023 Album SEA OF MIRRORS) [Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am      G
Oceans apart

Am          G
Drifting on the waves

      F  E    Am
We're oceans apart

Am
Voices

       G
In the dark

Am         G
Waiting to be saved

      F  E    Am
We're oceans apart
[Bridge]
       C               D
Like a boat out on the sea

         Bm             Em
For that moment we were free

  C               D
I love you, yes I love you

          Bm            Em
From your smile to your scars

          C D     Am    N.C.
But we're oceans apart
[Interlude] Am D Dm Am Bm Dm Am F E7 Am D Dm Am D Dm Am F Em Am Bbmaj7 E7 Am [Verse 2]
Am                         D
There's a world outside my door

        Dm                          Am
Full of people trying to play their part

                          Bm
There's a star way out in space

              Dm                      Am
There must be someway that can't be replacеd

Cmaj7
Feel myself slipping away

     Bm
It's like a stranger took my placе

Amaj7
Tryna keep an open mind

        Bm
But I'm losing myself every time

Cmaj7
Tell myself it's all a game

Bm
And other people are just the same

Amaj7
Open my door, step outside

  Bm
I keep on searching for the light

                           Dmaj7
I said I keep on searching for the light
[Interlude] Cmaj7 Bm Amaj7 Bm [Outro]
Cmaj7
It's been the same since I was a little kid

Bm
When I see the desert I see an ocean

Amaj7
When I see an ocean I see a desert

Bm
Each the image of the other

         Cmaj7
A sea of mirrors and here I am

Bm
Caught between both the form and the reflection

Amaj7
Between fact and fiction

                  Bm
Not knowing which role I'm supposed to be playing

Cmaj7                  Bm
Let's go past the skin in a character

                Amaj7
Go past the eye into the soul

               Bm
And in the end the only way you'll regain the mind

                           Gmaj7                      Dmaj7
Is to break it down to the rawest element of life and death

                             C     Bm Amaj7
You hear me? Get outside and fix it
