[G]
And honestly I've been begging [Em] for answers [G] That you and only you can give to me
My voice crying loud, I've been crying [Em] for days now
[G] And as I start to run I start to bleed
And I was nearly scared to [Em] die Of what you left [D]
in paragraphs
[C] Words were nearly [G]
overrides [Em] You stop and turn and grab your [G]
bags
And I'll be here by the ocean just waiting for proof
That there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
[F#m]
[D] All my sandcastles full like [G] the ashes of cigarettes
And every wave drags me to [D] sea
I [G] could stand here for hours just to ask God the question
Is everyone here make -believe?
[G]
With [Em] a tear in his voice he [G] says, son, that's the question
Does this deafening silence [D] mean nothing to no [C] one?
I know,
[G] [C]
as hours move to minutes And minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately waiting when my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours all alone in the [G] dark
[C] So let me think [G] about a word [D]
ahead [Em] Is it too soon to [D] say perfect?
[A]
[C] If I could find [G] another 30 [D] minutes somewhere [E] I'm sure everything would find me
[D] All that's left is just to sing
I'll be here by the [G] ocean just waiting [D] for proof
That [G] there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sandcastles full like the ashes [D] of cigarettes
And every wave drags me [G] to sea
[D]
I could stand here [G] for hours just to ask God the question
[Em] Is everyone here make -believe?
With [G] a tear in his voice he says, son, that's [Dm] the question
[D] Does this deafening silence [Bm] mean nothing [D] to no one?
[G] You'll say, please, to end the time Or I [C] may never sail Virginia [G] again
I know [C] this current [D] moves slow for [D#] me This much [Em] you must know will [C] meet again
And I will have you know I'm scared to die
Tell me once again that [E] you will love me [F#] to the death
And [G] should I die you [D] swear that you will [C] comfort me
As I fade away [E] you reach out [F#] and raise
