[C] I wanna be another wave in the [G] ocean.
[F] I am a rock, not just another grain of sand.
I wanna be the one [C] you run to when you need a shoulder.
I ain't a soldier, [G] but I'm here to take [F] a stand because we can.
[Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
[C] [Bb] She's in the kitchen [D] staring out the window.
[Bb] So tired of living [D] life in black and white.
[Bb] Right now she's missing [D] those technicolor kisses
[Bb] when he turns down [C] the light.
[Bb] Lately he's here [D] like a broken [Bb] promise.
In the mirror [D] staring down at the stars.
[Bb] There's only one [D] thing in this world that he [Bb] knows.
He said forever and [C] he'll never let them down.
[F] I wanna be [Bb] another wave in [F] the ocean.
[Bb] I'm [F]
not [C] just another grain of sand.
I [F] wanna be the one you run [Bb] to when you [F] need a shoulder.
[Bb] I [F] ain't a soldier, [C] but I'm here to take a stand because [F] we can.
[Bb] [F] [Bb] See me take [D] out on a coffee [Bb] table.
Paper dishes [D] for a glass of [Bb] wine.
Turn out the sound [D] and move a little closer.
[Bb] And for the moment [C] everything is all right.
[F] I wanna be [Bb] another wave [F] in the ocean.
[Bb] I'm [F]
not [C] just another grain of [F] sand.
I wanna be the one you [Bb] run to when you [F] need a shoulder.
