The Salt Water Room by Owl City

Chords with lyrics

The chords for the song are F, C, Am7, and Chord diagramG+G but for all chords i add my pinky on
the 3rd fret of the Chord diagramE MajorE string, it sounds better that way and i think its right. Its
kinda tough, its better with two guitars, or one guitar and two singers, cuz
singing is brutal haha, hope its okay. if you listen to the bass in the
background, the chords are right, timing is key!

Intro: F,C,F,Am7,F

Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramC majorC
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Chord diagramFF                  Chord diagramAm7Am7         Chord diagramG+G
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t
there anymore
Chord diagramFF               Chord diagramC majorC
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Chord diagramFF         Chord diagramAm7Am7
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G               Chord diagramFF
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
             Chord diagramC majorC
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Chord diagramFF                Chord diagramAm7Am7
Running into the dark underground
           Chord diagramG+G
All the subways around create a great sound
Chord diagramFF              Chord diagramC majorC
To my motion fatigue: farewell

With your ear to a seashell
Chord diagramFF
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
Chord diagramAm7Am7         Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramC majorC
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room


Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramAm7Am7     Chord diagramFF         Chord diagramC majorC
Time together isn't ever quite enough
Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramAm7Am7    Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramFF
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramAm7Am7      Chord diagramFF          Chord diagramC majorC
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramAm7Am7 Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramFF
We need time, only time


When we're apart, whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time, all the time


Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow
We’ll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
