Intro A C C/G
A
There's an ocean
C C/G
pouring from my eyes

Build a boat and

catch the rising ride

I'm so over yesterday

Now just watch me sail away

On this ocean

All the tears I cried

It's deep in the night

I miss you most

That's my worst time

Gotta reach for the light

Killing the shadows

Of that other life

Echoes round my mind forever

As I watch you drift away
A C C/G
On this ocean every tear I cry
Look what life did to me
I'm lucky to get out alive
The wound goes so deep
I took a bullet when you left my life
Echoes round my mind forever
I thought we would stay together
Now I've gonna kiss it all goodbye
There's an ocean
Pouring from my eyes
One emotion rising like the tide
And there's nothing I can say
As I watch you drift away
On this ocean every tear I cry
(Can't stop ocean of my tear drops Rise up ocean of my tear drops)
Oh- Can't stop ocean of my tear drops
Rise up
There's an ocean
Pouring from my eyes
One emotion since we said goodbye
I'm so over yesterday
Now just watch me sail away
On this ocean every tear I've cried
