Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
C                                      G                            D/F#                    Em  
     And honestly, I have been begging for answers
             D                                                                         C  
That you and only you can give to me
                                        G                                    D/F#                 Em  
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
          D                                                                         C  
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
          G                                 D/F#  
And I was nearly scared to death
Em  
(Why you left in paragraphs)
D  
Why you left in paragraphs
             C  
(The words were nearly over us)
          G                                            D/F#  
The words were nearly over us
             Em                                                                 D  
You stop and turn and grab your bags
                                G  
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
C  
sunsets and silhouette dreams
D/F#            Em  
     All my sand castles fall
                        D/F#            G  
like the ashes of cigarettes
          C                                                            D/F#  
And every waves drags me to sea
                        G  
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
          C  
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
D/F#            Em  
     With a tear in His voice
                          D/F#                              G  
He said, "Son, that's the question."
                          C  
Does this deafening silence
             D  
mean nothing to no one but me?
C    D/F#  
     As hours move to minutes
And minutes take longer to break
C                                                            G              D/F#  
     So let me think of to word it
Em                                                            D  
     Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
C                                              G                                                      D/F#  
     If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
                        Em  
I'm sure everything would find me
                             D  
All that's left is just to sing
                                G  
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Em  
sunsets and silhouette dreams
                  C  
All my sand castles fall
                                                D/F#  
like the ashes of cigarettes
          D                                                            Em  D/F#  
And every waves drags me to sea
                        G  
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
          Em  
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
                  C  
With a tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question.
                          D  
Does this deafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me?
                             C                                                         G  
And you'll sing to me sweet until then
                C                                                    G  
I may never sail Virginia again
                          C                                    D  
Alas this current moves slow for me
B/D#                                      Em                            C  
this much you must know...we'll meet again
                                        C(hold)
C  
     Tell me once again that you
             Em                                      D/F#  
will love me till the death
                                  G  
And should I die, you swear
             D                                            C  
that you will come for me
                                                     Em                                 D  
As I fade away, you reach out your arms
             C  
(And please don't let me go)
          Em            D/F#    G      D  
And please don't let me go
             C  
(And please don't let me go)
          Em            D/F#    G      D  
And please don't let me go
                                G  
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
