[A]
Said the sea to the shore when the evening tide came in
I'm here to tell you tales of where I've been
Into [E] shells I whispered my love [A] songs in secret rhyme
And [E] left them at your door for [D] you to [A] find
[E] Tempered the force of my waves when [A] your gods would roar
[E] You took care of the ships full of men that you [A] sent off to [D] war
[A] I've longed [E] for you for so long, [A] said the sea to the shore
Said the shore to the sea, you left me here too long
I was promised to the moon while you were gone
[E] He waited until the [F#m] brightest night
[E] To demand my hand under [F#m] his fullest light
[E] And promised he'd always stay and [A] watch over [D] me
Oh, why did you [C#m] wait till [A] now, said the shore to the sea
Said the sea to the [Dm] shore, I [A] swore that I'd return
And here I am with all that I have learned
[E] I can hold you now with arms of [D] foam and spray
[E] Touching you at the coming of dusk and [D] the breaking of day
[E] Smoothing out the folds [D] on every stone
Said the [A] sea to the [E] shore, don't [A] leave me here alone
[D] [A] Said the shore to the [D] sea, you said all these [A] things before
[D] And [A]
I tell ya, [D] I can't hear [A] them anymore
[F#m] [E] Oh, there was a time once I'd [D] have given in
[E] I'd hear your savage whitecaps [D] rolling in
[E] Your troughs would come up slow beneath my [D] chin
Your [E]
mists would kiss me softly [D] on my skin
[E]
Leaving salty trails [D] where you had been
My [F#m]
legs would give out in your [D] undertone
Oh, but see, [E] there was a long, [A] long time ago
So
[E] [A]
[E]
[D] [E] [A]
the sea took one last look and turned away
And the shore was more than strong enough to stay
The [E]
castles melted back [D] into the sand
[E]
Driftwood drifted up [D] into the land
[E]
Rocks rose up proud in [D] shiny skin
[E]
Shells began their [D] gossiping again
Said the sea to the shore when the evening tide came in
I'm here to tell you tales of where I've been
Into [E] shells I whispered my love [A] songs in secret rhyme
And [E] left them at your door for [D] you to [A] find
[E] Tempered the force of my waves when [A] your gods would roar
[E] You took care of the ships full of men that you [A] sent off to [D] war
[A] I've longed [E] for you for so long, [A] said the sea to the shore
Said the shore to the sea, you left me here too long

[E] To demand my hand under [F#m] his fullest light
