C G D/F# Em
And honestly I have been begging for answers
D C
That you and only you can give to me
G D/F# Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
D C
And as I start to run I stop to breathe
And I was nearly scared to death
G D/F#
And I was nearly scared to death
Em
Why you left in paragraphs
D
Why you left in paragraphs
C
The words were nearly over us
G D/F#
The words were nearly over us
Em D
You stop and turn and grab your bags
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
C
sunsets and silhouette dreams
D/F# Em
All my sand castles fall
D/F# G
like the ashes of cigarettes
C D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
C
Is everyone here make-believe
D/F# Em
With a tear in His voice
D/F# G
He said Son that's the question
C
Does this deafening silence
D

As hours move to minutes
And minutes take longer to break

And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark

So let me think of to word it
Em D
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'
C G D/F#
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
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams
C
All my sand castles fall
D/F#
like the ashes of cigarettes

And every waves drags me to sea

Does this deafening silence

Alas this current moves slow for me
