C G G#
There was no one all around
C G G#
There was no one there but me
C G G#
I was staring out a window
C G G#
I was standing by the sea
Bass Riff played four times.
C G G#
The waves kept on repeating
C G G#
Each one crashing to the shore
C G G#
And my footprints nowhere leading
C G G#
As they disappeared once more
Bass Riff played eight times.
C G G#
Your senses they are bombarded
C G G#
By the roaring that you hear
C G G#
In a shell you can hear the ocean
C G G#
When you put it up up to your ear
C G G#
There was no one all around
C G G#
There was no one there but me
C G G#
I was staring out a window
C G G#
I was standing by the sea
Bass Riff played ten times to end.
