Chords for Jacob Lee Feat. Armaan Yadav - Oceans (Philosophical Sessions)

_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] I learned [Am] to let go when I was younger
[G] [Em] Scared of growing old I [Dm] would walk off into [F] the ocean
[G] And try to stay afloat
[Am] Until my lungs were filled with water
[G] And sand would coat my bones and I [F] hope
That _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] someday I'll open up the floodgates [Em] and let the lyrics flow
[F] Someday I'll understand the dry taste [G] when the words are trapped below
Some [F] days I want [Am] to rip my air away
[G] It's clogged with all the quotes that [F] I wrote now
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [F] _ I feel worthless
[G]
Maybe [C] I should [Am] open the drawer
Burn the pages write poems [Em] with the ash on the [Dm] floor
Pour the [G] ink into the sink and watch it drain [Am] from the shore
Though _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
it's the one thing I've [G] been searching for _
Though it's the one thing that [F] I miss the most
_ [G] _
I'm afraid to be [Am] alone
When I was really young
I'd [Em] close my eyes and wake up on a beach [F] with a pen in my hand and thoughts within my [G] reach
Waves of words rushing to greet my feet beseeching [Am] me to spill from the quill in my heart
[G] Oceans dripping onto [Em] pages painting pictures of pain at last
[F] When I was really young, I would write to not forget [G] things and memories
So when I tell you lately [Am] I seem to be writing [C] only about love.
[Em] What does that tell you about me?
Love felt [F] like sweet dream in the deep sea of deep sleep, but somewhere [G] in the night you crawled out of bed
[Am] Disappeared but like a photograph stuck still in my [G] head leaving white sheets blank like pages to fill with
[Dm] Stories to tell but no matter how many characters [G] I stained the sheets with
None of them seemed to [Am] fit my life as well as you did
I wake now in the [Em] wake of your mistakes asking myself how you could [F] leave a living room looking so dreadfully dead
[G] _ I learned to [Am] grow old when I was [Em] younger
Scared of staying young [Dm] afraid of the thoughts that I [G] conjured
That's sad.
I taught my tongue
[Am] Hoping I'd change the world's opinion
[G] With all the [C] things I'd [F] done
And I know
I _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [A] feel worthless
[G] Maybe I should [Am] open the drawer
Burn the pages write [Em] poems with the ash on the [Dm] floor
Pour [G] the ink into the sink and watch it [Am] drain from the shore
I _ _ _ don't want love no more _ _ though.
It's the one thing [G] i've been searching for _
Though it's the [Em] one thing [F] I don't miss the most _
[G] _ I'm afraid to [Am] be alone
And lately I have been [Em] mistaking body silhouettes for your shadow to go [F] skinny dipping in the shallow
Bearing my flesh [G] sweat and skin, but never my warmth
I have [Am] been a beacon of smoke with no hope of [G] starting the fire.
I well remember
My heart [F] once a smoldering coal is now just a gray [G] area
I have no metaphors for this
[Am] Metamorphosis of a man reduced to a confused [Em] boy
Am I really at fault for this [F] chaos this chaos of white bedsheets that [G] look a lot like abandoned drafts of our story
[D] I [Am] imagined it would be gory, but it [G] is
a different kind of violence [F] there is
Only silence there is
[G] only silence
I [F] _ feel [A] worthless
[G] Maybe I should [Am] open the drawer
Burn the pages write [Em] poems with the ash [F] on the floor
Pour the ink into the [G] sink and watch it [Am] drain from the shore _ _ _
_ I don't want love no _ more though.
It's the one [Em] thing i've been searching for _
Though it's the one thing that [F] I miss [A] the most
[G] But I deserve to be [Am] alone _ _ _
