[Verse 1]
Bb Bb7
I’ve been humming a song all day
Eb
I couldn’t place it
Bb Eb
And then I remembered its the song you wrote for him
Cm
Can I ask why you stay?
Bb Ab
You’re scared of the ocean, and me
Lets face it
Eb Bb Eb
And I’m scared of what you think you could’ve been
 
[Chorus 1]
Bb Cm
And when you don’t call I start to spin
Bb
I feel myself trying to get something
Ab Gm
But you never pull, you push so I know its just me
Cm
But I wonder if you’re seeing his face
Bb
And wondering if I could ever replace
Ab Gm
‘Cause he never saw in you the things that I can see
Ab
But if he asked you tonight would you run to the sea
 
Eb
 
[Verse 2]
Ab
And whenever I say his name
Eb
Your whole face changes
Ab Eb
It lights up in a way I never see it do anymore
Cm
Why do I play this game
Bb Ab Eb Bb
I know I’ll love and lose and you’ll just rearrange your world whenever he knocks on
Eb
your door
 
[Chorus 2]
Bb Cm
Did you only kiss me on a whim
Bb
Whenever you finally gave up on him
Ab Gm
‘Cause after the years of hurt you needed to feel free
Cm
I put myself in a cell and threw the key away
Bb
Then told you that you didn’t have to stay
Ab Gm
But that I love you and I’m afraid that you agree
Eb Ab
And as you said you love me your eyes ran to the sea
 
Fm Eb G
 
[Bridge]
Ab Cm
And your kissing me slow
Bb
As I pretend I don’t know
Abmaj7 Ab Gm
That you want to gooooooooo with him
Cm
And your head’s on my chest
Bb
And my heart just won't rest
Ab Gm
So you know I‘m obsessed and I’ve always been
 
[Outro]
Ab Cm
‘Till I finally ask what would you be if he didn’t leave
Eb
And you say you were always meant to find me
Ab Eb
Is that what you convince yourself as you run to the sea
