Verse 1-
Cadd9Cadd9     G+G      Gsus2Gsus2    Em/DEm/D
And honestly, I have been begging for answers
   Dsus4Dsus4            Cadd9Cadd9
That you and only you can give to me
        G+G       Gsus2Gsus2   Em/DEm/D
A augmentedA voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
  Dsus4Dsus4            Cadd9Cadd9
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
  G+G      Gsus2Gsus2
And I was nearly scared to death
Em/DEm/D
(Why you left in paragraphs)
Dsus4Dsus4
Why you left in paragraphs
   Cadd9Cadd9
(The words were nearly over us)
  G+G         Gsus2Gsus2
The words were nearly over us
  Em/DEm/D            Dsus4Dsus4
You stop and turn and grab your bags

Chorus 1-
      G+G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Cadd9Cadd9
sunsets and silhouette dreams
Gsus2Gsus2  Em/DEm/D
 All my sand castles fall
     Gsus2Gsus2  G+G
like the ashes of cigarettes
  Cadd9Cadd9          Gsus2Gsus2
And every waves drags me to sea
     G+G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
  Cadd9Cadd9
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
Gsus2Gsus2  Em/DEm/D
 With a tear in His voice
     Gsus2Gsus2      G+G
He said, "Son, that's the question."
     Cadd9Cadd9
Does this deafening silence
   Dsus4Dsus4
mean nothing to no one but me?

Verse 2- (Play the above interlude lead for the first half of the Verse 2)
Cadd9Cadd9
 As hours move to minutes
And minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately awaiting
But my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark
Cadd9Cadd9          G+G   Gsus2Gsus2
 So let me think of to word it
Em/DEm/D           Dsus4Dsus4
 Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
Cadd9Cadd9           G+G       Gsus2Gsus2
 If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
     Em/DEm/D
I'm sure everything would find me
      Dsus4Dsus4
All that's left is just to sing



Chorus 2-
      G+G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em/DEm/D
sunsets and silhouette dreams
    Cadd9Cadd9
All my sand castles fall
         Gsus2Gsus2
like the ashes of cigarettes
  Dsus4Dsus4            Em/DEm/D Gsus2Gsus2
And every waves drags me to sea
     G+G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
  Em/DEm/D
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
    Cadd9Cadd9
With a tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."
     Dsus4Dsus4
Does this deafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me?



Bridge-
      Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
And you'll sing to me sweet until then
   Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
I may never sail Virginia again
     Cadd9Cadd9     Dsus4Dsus4
Alas this current moves slow for me
D#maj7-5      A7sus4A7sus4       Cadd9Cadd9
this much you must know... we'll meet again
        Cadd9Cadd9
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death
Cadd9Cadd9
 Tell me once again that you
   Em/DEm/D       Gsus2Gsus2
will love me till the death
       G+G
And should I die, you swear
   Dsus4Dsus4       Cadd9Cadd9
that you will come for me
          Em/DEm/D      Gsus2Gsus2  G+G  Dsus4Dsus4
As I fade away, you reach out your arms
   Cadd9Cadd9
(And please don't let me go)
  Em/DEm/D  Gsus2Gsus2 G+G  Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9
And please don't let me go
   Cadd9Cadd9
(And please don't let me go)
  Em/DEm/D  Gsus2Gsus2 G+G  Dsus4Dsus4 Cadd9Cadd9
And please don't let me go
