[Intro]
A Dadd9 A Dadd9
[Verse]
A Dadd9
The sky's a big blue blanket round the sun
A Dadd9
Holding satellites and space junk by the ton
A Dadd9
And I heard they built a hotel on the moon
A Dadd9
So the tourists get a longer afternoon
[Pre-Chorus]
Dadd9 A
Was a time, was a place
A Dadd9
We went swimming at the Forty Foot
E
And life was good
[Chorus]
A
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
Dmaj7 D
I've tried to forget the many ways
A
I've let you down
A Dadd9
But the sea holds the memory
Dm
And tonight, oh tonight
E A Dadd9 A Dadd9
I can feel it rolling over me
[Verse]
A Dadd9
Well the story's heading south, the wild birds fly
A Dadd9
But I'm this boy, that boy, forty storeys high
[Pre-Chorus]
A Dadd9
Come and take us to the water, we'll go swimming at the Forty Foot
E
Where life is good
[Chorus]
A
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
Dmaj7 D
I've tried to forget the many ways
A
I've let you down
A Dadd9
But the sea holds the memory
Dm
And tonight, oh tonight
E A Dadd9 A Dadd9
I can feel it rolling over me
[Verse]
A Dadd9
Well I tried to throw my arms around the world
A Dadd9
All at once into the future, I was hurled
A
And now we sprinkle stars like sawdust
Dadd9
On an empty bar room floor
E
It's hard to find the door
[Chorus]
A
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
Dmaj7 D
I've tried to forget the many ways
A
I've let you down
A Dadd9
But the sea holds the memory
[Chorus]
A
Where the little fishy sleeps
D
Dreaming of how we lived it up
A
All on the cheap
A D
The sea holds the memory
Dm
Tonight, oh tonight
E A D
I can feel it rolling over me
[Outro]
D A
The sea holds the memory
A D
And the sea holds the memory
D A D
The sea holds the memory
D A D A
The sea holds the memory
