  			Intro: Am  Bb  Dm  C 
   
Verso 1:
                            Am 
I stopped making deals with God 
                  Bb 
Right around when you left 
            Dm 
I said that I would start believing 
        C 
If they made you well again 
                       Dm 
Guess they knew it was bullshit 
              Bb 
Never hold up my end 
        F 
All the walls are stained in your nicotine 
        C 
I could feel closing in 

Verso 2:
                 Am 
I heard somebody cry 
                 Bb 
I thought I was alone 
          Dm 
I came to numb my lungs in the salt air 
        C 
Let the breakers heal my bones 
                Dm            Bb 
I wish that the current would carry me home 
          F 
I've been running for a decade now 
      C 
And I think I'm ready to go 
C 
Oh, I'm ready to go 

( F  Bb  Dm  C ) 
   
Verso 3:
                            Am 
I stopped making deals with God 
                       Bb 
When the light finally died 
          Dm 
I'm gonna guard what's left of the good in us 
         C 
When the ash blocks out the sky 
                     Dm 
And hold you with my left hand 
            Bb 
And ball up my right 
           F 
And if the bastards come for both of us 
        C 
I'll be right there by your side 
C 
I'm by your side 

( F  Bb  Dm  C ) 
   

              G 
When I was in shambles 
           Bb 
When I got too weak 
          F             Bb 
The ocean grew hands to hold me 
              G 
When I was in shambles 
           Bb 
When I got too weak 
          F             Bb 
The ocean grew hands to hold me  
  
Verso 3:
                  Am 
I stopped blaming God 
                       Bb 
When you said you were sick 
             Dm 
I learned to lean on the people who love me 
         C 
When the sutures start to split 
               Dm                  Bb 
I trust in the current to pull you back in 
       F 
I miss everyone at once 
            C 
But most of all, I miss the ocean 
   
Final: F  Bb  Dm  C  F
