[Verse 1]
G I stopped making deals with God C/G Right around when you left Em I said that I would start believing D If they made you well again Em Guess they knew it was bullshit C/G Never hold up my end G All the walls are stained in your nicotine D I could feel closing in
[Verse 2]
G I heard somebody cry C/G I thought I was alone Em I came to numb my lungs in the salt air D Let the breakers heal my bones Em C/G I wish that the current would carry me home G I've been running for a decade now D And I think I'm ready to go D Oh, I'm ready to go
G C Em D
[Verse 3]
G I stopped making deals with God C/G When the light finally died Em I'm gonna guard what's left of the good in us D When the ash blocks out the sky Em And hold you with my left hand C/G And ball up my right G And if the bastards come for both of us D I'll be right there by your side D I'm by your side
G C/G Em D
[Dhorus]
Am When I was in shambles C/G When I got too weak G C/G The ocean grew hands to hold me Am When I was in shambles C/G When I got too weak G C/G The ocean grew hands to hold me
[Verse 4]
G I stopped blaming God C When you said you were sick Em I learned to lean on the people who love me D When the sutures start to split Em C I trust in the current to pull you back in G I miss everyone at once D But most of all, I miss the ocean
[Outro]
