[Intro]
Am Bb Dm C
 
 
[Verse 1]
                            Am
I stopped making deals with God
                  Bb
Right around when you left
            Dm
I said that I would start believing
        C
If they made you well again
                       Dm
Guess they knew it was bullshit
              Bb
Never hold up my end
        F
All the walls are stained in your nicotine
        C
I could feel closing in
 
 
[Verse 2]
                 Am
I heard somebody cry
                 Bb
I thought I was alone
          Dm
I came to numb my lungs in the salt air
        C
Let the breakers heal my bones
                Dm            Bb
I wish that the current would carry me home
          F
I've been running for a decade now
      C
And I think I'm ready to go
C
Oh, I'm ready to go
F Bb Dm C
 
 
[Verse 3]
                            Am
I stopped making deals with God
                       Bb
When the light finally died
          Dm
I'm gonna guard what's left of the good in us
         C
When the ash blocks out the sky
                     Dm
And hold you with my left hand
            Bb
And ball up my right
           F
And if the bastards come for both of us
        C
I'll be right there by your side
C
I'm by your side
F Bb Dm C
 
 
[Chorus]
              G
When I was in shambles
           Bb
When I got too weak
          F             Bb
The ocean grew hands to hold me
              G
When I was in shambles
           Bb
When I got too weak
          F             Bb
The ocean grew hands to hold me
 
 
[Verse 4]
                  Am
I stopped blaming God
                       Bb
When you said you were sick
             Dm
I learned to lean on the people who love me
         C
When the sutures start to split
               Dm                  Bb
I trust in the current to pull you back in
       F
I miss everyone at once
            C
But most of all, I miss the ocean
 
 
[Outro]
F Bb Dm C
