                       xx0230    x32013
G         C    G   D  Dmajadd9   CaddG
I want to hold you now
   200232                 320013
    D/F#          G       Gsus4   G
And listen to you breathe

              C G   D    Dmajadd9   CaddG
It's like the ocean sound

D/F#                   G
Whispering through the trees
                               002230
Em                    A        Asus4  A
In the hollow of your shoulder

          C              Dmajadd9
There's a tidepool of my tears

G                             C
Where the waves come crashing over

D/F#                   G   Gsus4  G  
And the shoreline disappears


Baby close your eyes
Fly back there with me
Where the phosphor shines
Green flashlights from the sea
Our nets were full of soft shells
Our hearts were free from toil
And we made love on the kitchen table
Till the water reached a boil

Chorus:

   C                 D             G
We hold it all for a little while, don't we

         C               G                D/F#             G      Gsus4  G  
Kiss the dice, taste the rain like little knives upon our tongues

       C                    D/F# 
We can do no wrong when the lights come on 

        G
And the music plays

       C                      G
And we take the stage like we own the place

      D/F#                    C                  G
As if time were cheap and the night forever young


So let 'em turn my soul
Seven shades of blue
And with the ocean's roll
I will wave to you
And the birds will sing my laughter
And the whales will steal my song
And I'll be ok forever after
And the world will get along

repeat chorus
