A G
We're bobbing on the surface

They say she feels my heartbeat

G D G
Oh, but how, I'll never know
[Chorus]
G D A
That it's the ocean flowing in our veins
G D A
Oh, that it's the salt that's in our tears
G D A
Oh, 'cause we could have come so very far
G D E
Oh, in at least as many years
D C A
Take the highway through the great divide
D C E
Take the highway through the great divide

A G
I'm building you a pyramid

With limestone blocks so large

I drag them from the mountaintop
G D A
You'll need a, a two-car garage
