G                Em
I met a known stranger one day
G                     Em
I think he's not that bad as he says
C       D      G
A milion pieces behind the shirt
C        D          G
Laughing about like wasn't hurt

Em             Bm
He was like an ocean
Em         Bm
But no one could swim
         C              D
He was a city under the sea

( Em  Bm  Em )
( Bm  C  D )

G           Em
Making fire with his ashes
G                        Em
A thousand stories woven into his soul
C       D             G
He's in flames almost as the sun
C       D             G
Burning himself while kids have fun

Em             Bm
He was like an ocean
Em         Bm
But no one could swim
         C              D   G
He was a city under the sea
