Verse 1:
C                Em
I met you at the sea cliffs
                       C
When I was barely breathing
                  G              D           C
But somehow you gave me back my air and my mind
                        Em
Your love was like a bandage
                       C
You kissed away the damage
                       G         Dsus4          C
'Til all of it was shattered and you weren't mine

Verse 2:
C Em Cmaj7
Cmaj7 Em7 D

C                    Em
We walked along the seaside
                         Cmaj7
When you were out of your mind
Cmaj7              Em              D        Cmaj7
Fracturing the diamonds that the sand left behind
Cmaj7                Em
I stared into your eyes and
                  Cmaj7
We fell into the horizon
                         D
But now you'll never be mine again


Chorus:

C                   G
I know you won't believe it
       D                C
But I went back to the sea cliffs
         G                      D  C
And screamed your name into the sky
                   G
You know I never meant it
         D                 C
When I said we shouldn't mend it
C                    G        D
But I'd go back in time and bleed myself dry C cmaj7 Em D
         C   Cmaj7  Em D C
To call you m i n e


Verse 3:
Cmaj7                       Em
We were living in a movie scene
               Cmaj7
Sugar coated ecstasy
Cmaj7                   Em
All roses have thorns and I still mourn
      D
 what we could have been
Cmaj7                   Em
We were living in a TV show
                          Cmaj7
Called "Lovers who lost it all"
                                                   Cmaj7                  G             D
But in season 2 I got over you and fell for someone new

Chorus:
C                   G
I know you won't believe it
       D                C
But I went back to the sea cliffs
         G                      D  C
And screamed your name into the sky
                   G
You know I never meant it
         D                 C
When I said we shouldn't mend it
C                    G        D
But I'd go back in time and bleed myself dry C cmaj7 Em D
         C   Cmaj7  Em D C
To call you m i n e



Bridge:
C                           Em
When I met you at the sea cliffs
               C
You were my reason
                       G           D       C
And when I stopped breathing you bled me dry
                        Em
I found in the ship wreckage
                    C
A bottle with a message
                Em        D     C
Telling me to leave that sea side


Chorus:
                        G
And I've told him all about you
      D                C
Cause I can't seem to undo
                G       D  C
The buttons covering my eyes
                      G
So I think about the sea cliffs
        D               C
And how I took him to see it
                     G       D    C
It's almost like a favour to my pride
               G  D  C
Cause you were m-i-n-e
           G     D   C
At that diamond sea side
          G      D       C
Where I wish I turned back time
     G       D   Cmaj7
When you were mine


Outro:
Cmaj7                    Em
So forget you'd ever seen it
                      Cmaj7
They're still my sea cliffs
             G        D     Cmaj7
Even if I couldn't call you mine
C                       Em
I found in the ship wreckage
                  Cmaj7
A bottle with a message
                G    D     C
Telling me to leave you behind
