[VERSE]
G
Sea full of diamonds, good morning new day
G
I'll fix us breakfast, and the newspaper says
C G
The company will lay off 5,000 souls today
G
"I wish I was a child with no worries back then", I say
G
"Kiss me and smile..", you reply, in your way
C G
You wake up the children for school... for the last time
C
For suddenly our beautiful life blurs away
G
And the world breaks into pieces
[PRE-CHORUS]

G G D/F# Em
[CHORUS]
G D/F# Bm
'Cause today the sea came in
D Em
The wave came and stole my loved ones
G D/F# Bm D Em
I write these lines alone on the rooftop of my home
G D/F# Bm D Em
I'm adrift on the vast oceans, can you feel me?
G D/F# Bm D
I will not see you again, even if I live through
Em
The day when the sea came
Em
(Day when the sea came)
Em
(Day when the sea came in)
[BRIDGE]
Em Em D Em
Em
I trace the scenes our children once played
Em
Names carved in wood, all the words, bound to fade
D
I believe, my love, your memory and dreams
Em
Deserve to live again tomorrow
[BRIDGE 2]
C G
We built this world together, we lived in here together
C
And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together
G
We'll win the fight together, we'll lose the game together
C
Greet the heroes all together, and forever, we'll remember
G
We built this world together, we lived in here together
C
And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together
G
And as long as we're together, in spirit, yet together,
C G
You're the air that I am kissing, you will always be there
C G
I can feel you in the wind
C G
I can feel you in the wind
