Repeat 1st verse chords:
In the picture we see you once again
Still leaning with the sunlight on your arms
Then the life sent itself into the air
Till someone came upon the frozen stare
It's a joy

To see you waiting there

Em
Like an ocean
Em
Life that overcomes
Em
Like an ocean

Likely follows right behind
The only one

On a lonely ship, we are

Waking like an ocean which is sighing oh

Even when I told you were wrong
G D Em
Turns out you were right all along

Hold me open when I am with you
Em
Hold me open when I am with you

You know it's gone

You see me run
Em
As if to hide
G D Em
There on a lonely ship, filled full
G D Em
Of an ocean which is burning oh
G D
Melt together when I am with you

Held together when I am with you
G
We had it there

We had it there
Em
I could have sworn
G D Em
Turns out you were right all along
