The Sea Monster Song

Josiah Johnson


Tom: Dm

F
You must dive to the depths of the ocean
Am
I must float on top of the sea
Dm           Gm                   Bb
I would never hold it against you
                  C
I know you always loved me

F
Sailing there, sailing here
Am                          Dm
Straight on out, banish fear
         Gm                   Bb
I might lose you to the blues
            C                      F
That’s my truth and that’s your truth

F
You must dive to the depths of the ocean
Am
I must float on top of the sea
Dm           Gm                   Bb
I would never hold it against you
                   C
I know you always loved me

             F         Am
But I had a choice
   Gm              C
To stay inside, or use my voice

F                      Bbm       F
Oh my love your heart is black and blue
          Bb   F
And I did that to you
Bbm  F
Hmmm mmm
                                Bbm  F
We’re searching for some way to woooork it out
Bb      F
So we writhe about
Bbm      F
Twist and shout

[Chorus]
                 Bb
But you were the weight of everything
           Dm
I was the change that tomorrow brings
                Gm
You prayed for everything to stay
              C
But I came to wash it away
And I was ashamed-don’t be ashamed

            F          Am
But I had a choice
   Gm              C
To stay inside, or use my voice
          F          Am
I had a choice
   Gm              C
To stay inside, or use my voice

[Bridge]
Bb Dm Gm C
Oooooooooooo

[Chorus]
           Bb
We are the weight of everything
           Dm
We are the change that tomorrow brings
              Gm
we prayed for all of it to stay
                  C
But we’re here to wash it away
           Bb
We are the weight of everything
           Dm
We are the change that tomorrow brings
               Gm
we prayed for all of it to stay
                  C
But we’re here to wash it away
Dont be afraid..

            F          Am
But I had a choice
   Gm              C
To stay inside, or use my voice
            F          Am
I had a choice..
   Gm              C
