The Saltwater Room chords by Owl City

[CAPO ON 5TH FRET]


G
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
C
Walking down by the bay, on the shore
G
staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore
C
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
em
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
                   em
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
             C
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
em
Running into the dark underground
                    em
All the subways around create a great sound
                  G
To my motion fatigue: farewell
        C
With your ear to a seashell
                   em
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
                     G
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

    (G)


CHORUS:

G
Time together is just never quite enough
                     em
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
                               G
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
             C
We need time, only time
G
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
                        em
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
                           G
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
               C
All the time, all the time


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

REPEAT CHORUS
