Intro
Verse
G
She's like the ocean, that takes my breath away
D
Endless and open, and in a moment she can change
G
Like water flowin' and fillin' up my soul
D
No way of knowin' how deep she really goes
Bm A G
And sometimes I can predict her like the tides
Bm A G A7
And somedays her storm will take me surprise
[Refrão]Chorus
G D
But I'm her rock upon the shoreline, I'm her piece of solid ground
G D D/C# Bm A7
And I'm the one that she can lean on when her waves come crashin' down
G D D/C# Bm A G
And she's afraid that with the rain I'll drift away and disappear
Em A7 G
But she's my ocean, and I'm her island, I ain't goin' anywhere
Verse
G
What she don't know is before she came along
D
I was goin' nowhere, so close to bein' gone
Bm A G
Just another drifter lost at sea
Bm A G A7
Until the day her love surrounded me
[Refrão]Chorus
G D
But I'm her rock upon the shoreline, I'm her piece of solid ground

And I'm the one that she can lean on when her waves come crashin' down

And she's afraid that with the rain I'll drift away and disappear

But she's my ocean, and I'm her island, I ain't goin' anywhere
