Intro

A B A B X2


[Verse]
           D     E       B
i've come far to be here with you
           D     E       B
 farther than i thought i could
           D        E       B
 i've more courage now than i have ever
E                A
let on to you
          E      B
and it's in the way you're moving
      D    E         B
as uneasy as your smile
       D            E     B
i can tell you're slowly dying
        E        A
can we stop and talk awhile

E A B A B

[Verse]
        E              B
now as far as i can remember
              D      A        B
you've been running all your life
        D          E      B
and it seemed you ran forever
              E
'cause i was always left behind
         D             E
now that i have caught up to you
          D        A       B
there are things i have to say
          D    E      B
like i'm happy to be near you
        A
but i cannot stay

[Chorus]
G              A
 my love's an ocean
G              A
 you are the moon
G                A
 the stars - our windows
     C      Am    Bm
the sky is our room

A B A B x2

[Verse]
           D         A        B
these are more than simple changes
          D       A      B
they are painful and profound
         D        A    B
and you might consider pacing life
   E
below the speed of sound
      D     E                B
no i can't take your wounds from you
                   D   E      B
things you've done i cannot undo
       D    A       B
i can only hope to love you
          A       E
like the ocean loves the moon

[Chorus]
G          A
i am an ocean
G            A
you are the moon
G               A
our life - the morning
C        G      A  B  A  B
our love is doomed
