Verse 1:
       G                  D
I miss calling some place home,
       G                D
I miss thinking I could know,
              G              D
Where I would spend my final days,
           Bm                A  Asus4 A
Or plant a seed and watch it grow,
             G          D
I don't like waking up alone,
       G                D
Don't like cooking meals for one,
           G             D
I miss the chaos and the noise,
           Bm                A  Asus4 A
The family work that's never done.

Chorus:
       G      D/F#  Em            A7        D      G G D
And in dreams I     swim with the transient whales,
       Em        D/F#    G D/F#     A/C#  G/B  A7
All we have is each other   and the songs we   share,
             D   G  D
The songs we share.


Verse 2:
       G              D
We are never standing still,
             G                  D
The Earth is spinning round the Sun,
           G                    D
The Sun is swinging through the heavens,
           Bm              A  Asus4 A
And time is always pushing on,
         G             D
But this body begs for comfort,
       G                 D
And it groans with every change,
        G                 D
Well it hopes it will not suffer,
         Bm               A  Asus4 A
Prays in vain it will not age.


Chorus:
       G      D/F#  Em            A7        D      G G D
And in dreams I     swim with the transient whales,
       Em        D/F#    G D/F#     A/C#  G/B  A7
All we have is each other   and the songs we   share,
             D   A  Bm
The songs we share.

Verse 3:
                           D
I love jokes that last for years,
           G               D
And having people dropping by,
        G            D
I liked being at the center,
     Bm               A   Asus4 A
Of a place that felt alive,
       G              D
Now my home is in the ocean,
         G               D
Where my song can travel free,
        G             D
Carried softly by the water,
       Bm           A
To wherever you may be.

The songs we share.
