Verse 1:
              G+G
I stopped making deals with God
         Cadd9Cadd9
Right around when you left
      E minorEm
I said that I would start believing
    D5D5
If they made you well again
            E minor 7Em7
Guess they knew it was bullshit
       Cadd9Cadd9
Never hold up my end
    G+G
All the walls are stained in your nicotine
    GMaj9Gmaj9
I could feel closing in

Verse 2:
         E minor 7Em7
I heard somebody cry
         Cadd9Cadd9
I thought I was alone
     E minor 7Em7
I came to numb my lungs in the salt air
    GMaj9Gmaj9
Let the breakers heal my bones
        E minor 7Em7      Cadd9Cadd9
I wish that the current would carry me home
     G+G
I've been running for a decade now
   GMaj9Gmaj9
And I think I'm ready to go
GMaj9Gmaj9
Oh, I'm ready to go

G+G Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm GMaj9Gmaj9

Verse 3:
              G+G
I stopped making deals with God
            Cadd9Cadd9
When the light finally died
     E minorEm
I'm gonna guard what's left of the good in us
     GMaj9Gmaj9
When the ash blocks out the sky
           E minor 7Em7
And hold you with my left hand
      Cadd9Cadd9
And ball up my right
      G+G
And if the bastards come for both of us
    GMaj9Gmaj9
I'll be right there by your side
GMaj9Gmaj9
I'm by your side

G+G Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm GMaj9Gmaj9

Chorus:
       B minorBm
When I was in shambles
      G+G
When I got too weak
     D MajorD       G+G
The ocean grew hands to hold me
       B minorBm
When I was in shambles
      G+G
When I got too weak
     D MajorD       G+G
The ocean grew hands to hold me


Verse 4:
         E minorEm
I stopped blaming God
            Cadd9Cadd9
When you said you were sick
       G+G
I learned to lean on the people who love me
     GMaj9Gmaj9
When the sutures start to split
       E minor 7Em7         Cadd9Cadd9
I trust in the current to pull you back in
    G+G
I miss everyone at once
      GMaj9Gmaj9
But most of all, I miss the ocean


Outro:
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 E minor 7Em7 GMaj9Gmaj9
