Jacob Lee - Oceans (Lyrics) chords
Start Jamming...
I learned to let go when I was younger
[Bb] Scared of growing old
[Gb] I would swim far into the ocean
And try to stay afloat
[Bbm] Until my lungs would [Bb] cough up water
[Eb] And sand would cold my bones
And [Gb] I'll hold out
[Bbm] Someday I'll open up the floodgates
[Bb] And let the lyrics flow
[Gb] Someday I'll understand the dry taste
When the words are trapped below
[Bbm] Some days I want to breathe my air away
[Bb] It's clogged with all the quotes that [Gb] I wrote
Now I feel worthless
[Bb] Maybe I should open [Bbm] the drawer
Burn the pages
Write poems [Bb] with the ash on [Gb] the floor
Pour the ink into [Ab] the sink
And watch it drain from [Bbm] the shore
I don't wanna know
[Ab] Though it's the one thing [Gb] I've been searching for
[Ebm] Though it's the one thing [Bbm] that I miss the most
[Ab] I'm afraid to be [Eb] alone
[Gb]
I [Bbm] learned to let go when I was younger
Scared of staying young
[Bb] Afraid of the thoughts that I conjured
That sat atop my tongue
[Gb] Knowing I'd change the world's opinion
[Eb] If they would just [Ebm] listen up
But they [Bb] won't now
[Bbm] I feel worthless
[Eb] Maybe I should open the [Bbm] drawer
Burn the pages
[Bb] Write poems with the ash on [Gb] the floor
Pour the ink into [Ab] the sink
And watch it drain from the [Bbm] shore
I don't wanna know
Though [Ab] it's the one thing [Gb] I've been searching for
[Ebm] Though it's the one thing [Bbm] that I miss the most
[Ab] I'm afraid to be [Eb] alone
To [Gb] be alone
Looking in the mirror light
[Ab] Maybe I will find myself [Gb] tonight
I asked for a better [Eb] mind
But I put to mistake [Gb] the last [Bbm] third I
I had never [Ab] realized
I thought I had [Eb] chosen my design
I thought I was broken all [Gb] this time
[Ab] I [Bbm] don't wanna know
[Eb] Though it's the one thing [Gb] I've been searching for
Though it's the one thing [Bbm] that I miss the most
[Bb] Now I'm afraid to be [Gb] alone
