[Verse 1]
G/B Cadd9 G We spotted the ocean, A/C# G/B Cadd9 G At the head of the trail, A/C# G/B Cadd9 G Where are we goin', G A Asus4 A So far away? G/B Cadd9 G And somebody told me, A/C# Em D/F# G That this is the place, A/C# G/B Cadd9 G Where everything's better, D/F# A Asus4 A And everything's safe.
[Chorus]
A Em7 D/F# G Walk on the ocean, D A/C# Step on the stones, Em D/F# G Flesh becomes water, D A/C# Wood becomes bone . . ..
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G And half an hour later, A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Em7 Cadd9 G We packed up our things, A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Em7 Cadd9 G Said we'd send letters, D/F# A Asus4 A A And all of those little things, A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Em7 Cadd9 G And they knew we were lyin', A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Em7 D/F# G But they smiled just the same, A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Bm Cadd9 G It seemed they'd al----ready, D/F# A Asus4 A Forgotten we'd came.
[Chorus]
A Em7 D/F# G Walk on the ocean, D A/C# Step on the stones, Em D/F# G Flesh becomes water, D A/C# Wood becomes bone . . .. A Em7 D/F# G Walk on the ocean, D A/C# Step on the stones, Em D/F# G Flesh becomes water, D A/C# Wood becomes bone . . ..

[Outro]
G Cadd9 G Now, back at the homestead, A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Em7 Cadd9 G Where the air makes you choke, A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Em7 Cadd9 G And people don't know you, D/F# A A A And trust is a joke, G Cadd9 G Don't even have pictures, A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Em7 D/F# G Just memo--ries to hold, A/C# Asus4/C# A/C# Bm Cadd9 G Grow sweet--er each season, D/F# A As we slowly grow old.
