Verse 1:
C9 G D Em
And honestly, I have been begging for answers
D C9
That you and only you can give to me
G D Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
D C9
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
G D
And I was nearly scared to death
Em
(Why you left in paragraphs)
D
Why you left in paragraphs
C9
(The words were nearly over us)
G D
The words were nearly over us
Em D
You stop and turn and grab your bags
Chorus
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
C9
All my sand castles fall
G D
like the ashes of cigarettes
Em D
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
Em
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
C9
With a tear in His voice
G D
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Em
Does this deafening silence
D
mean nothing to no one but me?
Interlude: C9---D/F#
Verse 2:
Em C9
As hours move to minutes
G D
And minutes take longer to break
Em
I will be desperately awaiting
C9
But my tongue won't fall apart
G
And we've been sitting here for hours
D
All alone and in the dark
C9 G D
So let me think of to word it
Em D
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
C9 G D
If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
Em
I'm sure everything would find me
D
All that's left is just to sing
Chorus
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
C9
All my sand castles fall
G D
like the ashes of cigarettes
Em D
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
Em
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
C9
With a tear in His voice
G D
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Em
Does this deafening silence
D
mean nothing to no one but me?
Bridge:
C9 G
And you'll sing to me sweet until then
C9 G
I may never sail Virginia again
C9 G
Alas this current moves slow for me
D Em C9
this much you must know...we'll meet again
C9
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death
C9
Tell me once again that you
G D
will love me till the death
Em
And should I die, you swear
D C9
that you will come for me
C9 G D-Em-D
As I fade away, you reach out your arms
C9
(And please don't let me go)
G D Em D
And please don't let me go
C9
(And please don't let me go)
G D Em D
And please don't let me go
Chorus
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
C9
All my sand castles fall
G D
like the ashes of cigarettes
Em D
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
Em
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
C9
With a tear in His voice
G D
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Em
Does this deafening silence
D
mean nothing to no one but me?
