VERSE
 C             G           C
 Listen to the waves speak up
     F          C      C
 The blue voice of the sea
          C               G         C
 And they whisper as they touch the shore
      F       Am
 Come back to me
      G       C
 Come back to me

 C             G        C
 Boat by boat upon the waves
     F       C        G
 All come to find the light
        C               G    C
 In the darkness of the sky above
      F       Am
 Come back to me
      G       C
 Come back to me

VERSE

 C                  G         C
 Twilight comes to close the day
     F       C           G
 And let the night break free
          C                   G       C
 And from deep blue skies the heavens rise
      F       Am
 Come back to me
      G       C
 Come back to me
      F       Am
 Come back to me
      G       C
 Come back to me

 C                    G       C
 Moonlight brings the ocean's storms
      F       C      G
 Like waves upon the sea
         C                    F        C
 And the midnight shore calls out once more
      F       Am
 Come back to me
      G       C
 Come back to me
      F       Am
 Come back to me
      G       C
 Come back to me
      F       Am
 Come back to me
      G       C
 Come back to me...
