Tom: A
A
[Verse 1]
A F#m
Across the street the river runs
A F#m
down in the gutter life's slipping away
A F#m
let me still exist in another place
D E
running under cover of a helicopter blade
A F#m
flames are getting higher in effigy
A F#m
burning down the bridges of memory
A F#m
love may still be alive somewhere someway
D
where they're downing only deer
E
a hundred steel towns away
[Chorus 1]
A D
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
A E
With the words 'I love you' rolling off my tongue
A D
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
A
Where the ocean meets the sky
E A
I'll be sailing
A A
[Verse 2]
A F#m
Photographs, kerosene
A F#m
light up my darkness, light it, light it up
A F#m
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
D E
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby
[Chorus 2]
A D
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
A E
With the words 'I love you' rolling off my tongue
A D
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
A
Where the ocean meets the sky
E
I'll be sai....

[Bridge]
D A Bm A
Oh I've got lightning in my veins
F#m
Tripping like the handle of a slot machine
D A Bm A
love may still exist in another place
Bm
I'm just holding back the handle
E
No expression on my face
E E
[Chorus 3]
A D
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
A E
With the words 'I love you' rolling off my tongue
A D
No never will I roam for I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailing

No never will I roam for I know my place is home
