[Bm] [D]
Well you know baby [Bm] I'm a leading man
[G] I dig down deep when I say I love you
[D] I'm a rockin' for my own [Bm] with the best love man
[G] I guarantee you'll never see nothin'
Nothin' love [D] is a game
Calamoni say that you love me
From on a [Bm] darkness I couldn't break [D] through
I [Bm] miss the ocean [D] when I [A] go to sleep
[Bm] Oh man, it's [Em] gonna break [D] my heart
[E] [Bm]
[D] [Bm]
Thought you'd know that [Bm] I did the things I could
[G] I rubbed your back when you weren't [D] sleepin'
But all along baby [Bm] you was undisturbed
[G] Like you were leavin', absolutely
Every first day [D] was messed
Calamoni say that you miss me
From on a [B] darkness I couldn't break
[D] I'm gonna miss [Bm] you
[D] I'm gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
[Bm]
Oh, I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss [D] you
Oh, I'm gonna miss [Bm] you
[D]
