Bb
The sea's evaporating,

			 Db    Bb
Though it comes as no surprise.


These clouds we're seeing,

		        Db    Bb
They're explosions in the sky.


It seems it's written,

			      Db
But we can't read between the line.

Bb		     Db			Bb
Hush. It's okay. Dry your eye. Dry your eye.

Soulmate dry your eye.

Dry your eye.

Soulmate dry your eye.

		      Bb
Cause soulmates never die.

Bb
This one world vision,

		     Db   Bb
Turns us in to compromise.


What good's religion,

			   Db   Bb
When it's each other we despise.


Damn the government,

			       Db
Damn their killing. Damn their lies,

Bb		     Db			Bb
Hush. It's okay. Dry your eye. Dry your eye.
