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 Chorus 1: 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? Interlude: C---D/F# Verse 2: C (all the way) As hours move to minutes And minutes take longer to break I will be desperately awaiting But my tongue won't fall apart And we've been sitting here for hours All alone and in the dark 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 Chorus 2: 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? Bridge: 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/Eb Em( hold) C this much you must know...we'll meet again C (hold) And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death 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/F# - G - 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 (Repeat Chorus 1)
