A
Sea full of diamonds, good morning new day
A
I'll fix us breakfast, and the newspaper says
D A
The company will lay off 5,000 souls today
A
"I wish I was a child with no worries back then", I say
A
"Kiss me and smile..", you reply, in your way
D A
You wake up the children for school... for the last time
D
For suddenly our beautiful life blurs away
A
And the world breaks into pieces
( D A E/G# )
F#m A E/G# C#m
'Cause today the sea came in
E F#m
The wave came and stole my loved ones
A E/G# C#m E F#m
I write these lines alone on the rooftop of my home
A E/G# C#m E F#m
I'm adrift on the vast oceans, can you feel me?
A E/G# C#m E
I will not see you again, even if I live through
F#m
The day when the sea came
(Day when the sea came..)
(Day when the sea came in..)
( F#m E F#m )
F#m
I trace the scenes our children once played
F#m
Names carved in wood, all the words, bound to fade
E
I believe, my love, your memory and dreams
F#m
Deserve to live again tomorrow
D A
(My love...) We built this world together, we lived in here together
D
And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together
A
We'll win the fight together, we'll lose the game together
D
Greet the heroes all together, and forever, we'll remember
A
We built this world together, we lived in here together
D
And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together
A
And as long as we're together, in spirit, yet together
D A
You're the air that I am kissing, you will always be there
D A
I can feel you in the wind
D A
I can feel you in the wind
Final: D A D
