[C]
[G] And honestly I have been begging [Em] for answers
[G] That you and only you can [C] give to me
My [G] voice crying loud, I've been crying for [Em] days now
[G] And as I start to run I stop to breathe
I was nearly scared to die
I was nearly scared to [Em] die
Oh why you laughed in [A] paragraphs
Oh why you [G] laughed in paragraphs
[C] Words were nearly [G]
overrides
Words were nearly overrides
[Em] You stop and turn and grab [G] your bags
I'll be here by the ocean just waiting for proof
That [C] there's sunset and silhouette [D] [G] dreams
All [Em] my sandcastles full of light
[G] The ashes of cigarettes and every weed
Drags me to sin
I could stand here for hours just to ask God a question
Does [C] everyone here make believe?
[G] With [Em] a teary red voice he [G] says
Son that's the question
[Cm] Does this deafening [G] silence mean
Nothing to no one [C] but me?
[G]
[C] As hours move to mornings
And writings take longer to break
I will be desperately waiting
When my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been setting here for hours
All alone in [G#] the [G]
[C] dark
So I just think of [G] all the words I [D] hate
[Em] Is it too soon to [D] say perfect?
[A]
[C] If I could find [G] another 30 minutes somewhere
I'm [E] sure everything would find me
All [D] that's left is [G] just to sing
I'll be here by the ocean just waiting for proof
That there's sunset and silhouette dreams
All [C] my [G] sandcastles full of light
The ashes of cigarettes and every weed
Drags me to sin
I could stand here for hours just to ask God a question
[C] Does everyone [Em] here make believe?
With [C] a [G] teary red voice he [C] says
Son that's [G] the question
Does this deafening silence [Em] mean
Nothing to no [G] one but me?
[C] Take me to
[G] Antarctica
Or [C] I may never [G] sail Virginia again
I'll ask [C] this [G] current to slow for [D#] me
This much [G] you must know will [C] meet again
And I won't have you know I'm scared to death
Tell me once again
That [E] you'll love [Em] me [F#] to the death
And [G] should I die you [D] swear that you will [C] comfort me
As I fade away
[E] You reach out [F#] and
[G] [D]
[C] raise your voice
[Em] [F#]
[G] Oh let [D] me [C] die
[Em] Raise [F#] your [G] voice
I'll [Am] be [G]
here by the ocean just waiting for proof
That there's sunset and silhouette [C] dreams
[G] All [Em] my sandcastles full of light
[G] The ashes of [C] cigarettes and every weed
Drags me [G] to sin
I could stand here for hours just to ask God a question
