[verse1]
G C G C G
We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
C G C G A
where are we going so far away
A G C G C G
Now somebody told me that this is the place
C G C G A
Where everything's better and everything's safe
[chorus]
A G D A
Walk on the ocean Step on the stones
A G D A
Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone
[verse2]
A G C G C G
Half an hour later we packed up our things
C G C G A
Said we'd send letters and all of those little things
A G C G C G
And they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
C G C G A
It seemed they'd already forgotten we came
[chorus]
same as above
[bridge]
just play the chords to the chorus
over four times I think
[verse3]
A G C G C G
Back at the homestead where the air makes you choke
C G C G A
And people don't know you and trust is a joke
A G C G C G
We don't even have pictures just memories to hold
C G C G A
That grow sweeter each season as we slowly grow old
