Ocean Chords

[Intro]
 
C Em F G   x2
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                  Em
Your life is the ocean
C                F
and your heart is a wave
C                  Em
like a dog in the sun
F                       C
I found my peace in your storm
C               Em
as I sail for days
F                 C
I keep drowning away
C                       Em
would my sailors forgive me
F                   G
for feeling this way
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C
You said,
Em
"Hey Mister!"
F             C
do follow through
C                      Am
let's go and build a house
F                     G
big enough to fit us two
C                       Em
we'll weave a castle there
        F               G
the castle of our dreams
C                     Em
my knight in dining armor
F                      G
and I your blanket queen
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                          Em
Girl you're just like that pretty house
F                                   C
with wooden beams, you're facing south
G        C             Em              F
You are my shelter, you are my little home
       C                         Em
Your walls are painted pink and green
F                    G
with a hint of tangerine
C  Em
I see
                F       G
a crack in the window
C         Em           Am
I'm waking up to hold you
         F                              G
your blemishes, all your tragedies are mine. (Strum DUDUD)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                  Em
Your life is the ocean
C                F
and your heart is a wave
C                  Em
like a dog in the sun
F                       C
I found my peace in your storm
C               Em
as I sail for days
F                 C
I keep drowning away
C                       Em
would my sailors forgive me
F                   G
for feeling this way
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
F   Dm               C
As days turn into years
Em                    Am
got more than I deserved
F                         C
there's so much left to learn
                         G
as I flip through your pages
F    Dm                C
As sweet as Crème brûlée (harmony)
Em                    Am
these memories we've made
      Fadd9                C
now let me take your hand
                          G
and offer a lifetime (clash and tension)
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
C                                 Em
'Cause darling all these years have gone
F                        C
Just as the tree we sat upon
C                  Em            F                    G
so afraid to fall, the way we laughed, we made it through
      C                      Em
My sailors they have come 'round
F                          C
their ballads bring a different sound
C                        Em                 F
I guess they all have drowned in love with you
G
the way I have too!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                  Em
Your life is the ocean
C                F
and your heart is a wave
C                  Em
like a dog in the sun
F                       C
I found my peace in your storm
C               Em
as I sail for days
F                 C
I keep drowning away
C                       Em
would the gods forgive me
F                   G
for feeling this way
