Verse 1:
(Switch to strumming)
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
The day has been melting away

And our sun is still
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
And you are the sea as it glides
Chorus:
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
You are the sea as it glides
Verse 2:
Amaj7Amaj7
In the kingdom of twilight
E MajorE
In spirit and life
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Heat carries across me on the breeze
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
And the stars are well where they are
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
For those who belong to them
Verse 3:
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Yet I carried my burdens where I'd go
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
And if not I may have ran forever

Leaving fire in my wake
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Leaving fire in my wake
Chorus:
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
You are the sea as it glides
