Tom: C
C Em
Your life is the ocean
F C
And your heart is a wave
C Em
Like a dog in the sun
F C
I found my peace in your storm
C Em
As I sail for days
F C
I keep drowning away
C Em
Would my sailors forgive me
F G
For feeling this way
[Verse 1]
C Em
You said, "Hey Mister!
F C
Do follow through
C Am
Let's go and build a house
F G
Big enough to fit us two
C Em
We'll weave a castle there
F G
The castle of our dreams
C Em
My knight in dining armour
F G
And I your blanket queen"
[Verse 2]
C Em
Girl, you're just like that pretty house
F C
With wooden beams, you're facing south
C Em F G
You are my shelter, you are my little home
C Em
Your walls are painted pink and green
F G C Em
With a hint of tangerine, I see
F G
A crack in the window
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
I'm waking up to hold you
Am Fadd9 G
Your blemishes, all your tragedies are mine
[Chorus]
C Em
'Cause your life is the ocean
F C
And your heart is a wave
C Em
Like a dog in the sun
F C
I found my peace in your storm
C Em
As I sail for days
F C
I keep drowning away
C Em
Would my sailors forgive me
F G F
For feeling this way
[Bridge]
Dm C
As days turn into years
Em Am
Got more than I deserve
Fsus2 C
There's so much left to learn
G F
As I flip through your pages
Dm C
As sweet as crème brulee
Em Am
These memories we've made
Fsus2 C
Now let me take your hand
G
And offer a lifetime
[Verse 3]
C Em
'Cause darling all these years have gone
F C
Just as the tree we sat upon
C Em F G
So afraid to fall, the way we laughed, We made it through
C Em
My sailors they have come 'round
F C
Their ballads bring a different sound
C Em F G
I guess they all have drowned in love with you the way I have too
[Chorus]
C Em
'Cause your life is the ocean
F C
And your heart the biggest wave
C Em
Like a dog in the sun
F C
I found my peace in your storm
C Em
As I sail for days
F C
I keep on drowning, drowning away
C Em
Would the gods forgive me
F G C
For feeling this way
