The Lumineers - Dead Sea (Live on KEXP) chords
Start Jamming...
I [C] stood alone upon the platform in vain.
[D] The Puerto Ricans, they were playing this salsa [F] in a rain
with open doors and manual [C] lock and fast food parking lots.
I headed west.
I was a man on the moon.
[D] New York had lied to me.
I needed the truth.
Oh, I [F] need somebody.
Needed someone I could [C] trust.
And I [Am] don't get it.
But if [G] I did, [F] I would bet [C] on us like the Dead Sea.
You told me I was [F] like the Dead Sea.
You'll never sink when [Am] you're with me, [G] oh, Lord,
like the Dead [C] Sea.
Oh, I'm like the Dead Sea.
The finest words [F] you ever said to me.
Honey, can't you [A] see I was born to [G] be your [C] nest?
[C] You told me you were rooted, running away.
[Ab]
Domestic life, it never suited you like a [F] suitcase.
You left with just the clothes on your back.
Well, they took the rest, but you took [C] the nap.
Yes, there are times they live for somebody else.
[D] Your father died, and you decided
to live it [F] for yourself.
You felt, you just felt it was time.
And [A] I'm glad that you [G] were the cat.
[F] That's just [C] not right.
Like the Dead Sea.
You told me I was [F] like the Dead Sea.
You'll never sink when [Am] you're with me, [G] oh, Lord,
I'm your Dead [C] Sea.
Oh, I'm like the Dead Sea.
The finest words you [F] ever said to me.
Honey, can't you [Am] see I was born to [G] be your nest?
[C]
[A] I've been down, I've been defeated.
[F] You're the message I will heed.
[D] Will you stay with me?
Will you stay the [G] night?
[A] Ooh, [C] Dead Sea.
You told me I was like [F] the Dead Sea.
You'll never sink when [Am] you're with me, [G] oh, Lord,
I'm your Dead [C] Sea.
Oh, I'm like the Dead Sea.
The finest words you [F] ever said to me.
Honey, can't you [Am] see I was born to [G] be your nest?

This is a sweet deal.
Yeah.
