Intro Gm D# F

Gm                           F
Just get me off of this ocean
                            D#
Want to move on the true sea
Gm                              F
There's no above or no below, just you
                  D#
Just you beside me
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Gm                                 F
Just take me over that last horizon
                             D#
Where this light's never been
Gm             Cm                 D#
Into a roaring black silence no shell           (Not so sure here what
Bb               F                               the second chord is)
Would even attempt to repeat

Gm D# F x2

Gm                           F
Just get me out of this hotel
                          D#
Check me out of this sleep
Gm
Been treading water
                 F                                     D#
Hearing recorded messages inside this reoccurring dream

Gm                                   F
My starry-eyed compass keeps a secret
                              D#
No starry-eyed theory can take
Gm                   Cm                  D#               Bb
And a promise she'll keep until the true sea gathers us up
   F
In a tidal wave

Chorus:
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
It makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
It makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
She makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean

She makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean

I'll follow you overboard
In the collapsing waves
I'll find you in the dark
Like a stowaway

Just leave ourselves unfinished
Just leave an empty page
And let those sweeping arms just carry us away
Carry us away

Chorus:
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
It makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
It makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
She makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
She makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
She makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
She makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            Gm                Bb
She makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
            D#      F            F#m
She makes the ocean seem like a drop in the ocean
