Chords for Counting Crows - God Of Ocean Tides (Lyric Video)

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] Close the door on a short night, [D]
lift the lid on a daylight
[E] _ 609 [Em] West Tennessee [C] time, and I [G] buy all my days
_ At [D] the same place where the girl sells her [C] nights, she got [G] on [G] ocean tides
_ _ _ _ [D] [G] All [D] night long, [C] writing poems to [G] California, _ [Em]
melodies of failure
And [Am] the people I have known, [D] away [G] _ [D] meanwhile, [C] somewhere west of [G] Carolina
In [Em] a congregation of strangers, [Bm] we [A] are digging holes to China
[C] And we pray to our reflections, [F#] in the [C] water, when it rises
I said [G] headlights pinned the highway down, [D]
Jesus spins the world around
[Em] And I spend all my tomorrows coming [C] down, _ [Bm] goodbye all [G] my days
_ I [D] know I said I never loved you, but [C] I might just [G] try [Am] again [G] tonight
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Truck stops [C] and river guides, gas [D] stations [G] of the cross
_ [D]
Following a ghost, _ following a [Am] ghost
I [C] pray the water [D] wash away [Em] the [D] memories and the [C] cost
And _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] carry me [G] south to the sea, [C] _ _ _ _ [D]
along with [G] your memories of [C] me _
We [D] were born in the [G] water, and I will return [C] to thee _ _ _ _
Colored lights _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] on birthday cakes, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] candle wax _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] on paper plates _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Free the water, _ _ _ _ push it by, push it by
_ You [C] can see through _ water, _ _ _ _
[G] way up to the sky _ _
Gods of water, gods of rain, [D] cover up the sun again
We [Em] are crossing the [C] Mississippi line, and I [G] tried all my days _
_ [D] To love you just the way I hoped [C] I might, but I'm [G] leaving here tonight
I _ _ can't remember yesterday, [C] I tried, if I said [G] I could, I lied _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
