Verse 1:
C9              G           D            Em
And honestly, I have been begging for answers 
     D                            C9
That you and only you can give to me 
               G              D               Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now 
    D                                 C9
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe 
(And I was nearly scared to death) 
    G             D
And I was nearly scared to death 
Em
(Why you left in paragraphs) 
D
Why you left in paragraphs 
     C9
(The words were nearly over us) 
    G                 D
The words were nearly over us 
     Em                         D
You stop and turn and grab your bags 


Chorus
            G
And I'll be here by the ocean 
Just waiting for proof that there's 
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams 
        C9
All my sand castles fall 
          G               D
like the ashes of cigarettes 
     Em                       D
And every waves drags me to sea 
         G
I could stand here for hours 
Just to ask God the question
     Em 
"Is everyone here make-believe?" 
        C9
With a tear in His voice
          G                     D
He said, "Son, that's the question." 
            Em
Does this deafening silence 
                        D
mean nothing to no one but me? 


Interlude: C9---D/F#


Verse 2:
Em                   C9
As hours move to minutes
G                           D
And minutes take longer to break 
Em
I will be desperately awaiting 
        C9
But my tongue won't fall apart 
                G
And we've been sitting here for hours 
                      D
All alone and in the dark 
C9                       G      D
So let me think of to word it 
Em                       D
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? 
C9                       G                  D
If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere 
          Em
I'm sure everything would find me 
             D
All that's left is just to sing

All my sand castles fall 
          G               D

Bridge:
           C9                     G
And you'll sing to me sweet until then 
      C9                   G
I may never sail Virginia again 
          C9             G
Alas this current moves slow for me 
D                Em                  C9
this much you must know...we'll meet again
               C9
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death 
C9
Tell me once again that you
      G                D 
will love me till the death 
             Em
And should I die, you swear 
     D                 C9
that you will come for me
           C9          G             D-Em-D
As I fade away, you reach out your arms 
     C9
(And please don't let me go) 
     G      D    Em     D
And please don't let me go 
     C9
(And please don't let me go) 
     G      D    Em     D
And please don't let me go
