Intro - Am C F C D F
Am C F Am
I climbed up a mountain and looked off the edge
Dm F
At all of the lives that I never have led
Am C F Am
Theres one where I stayed with you across the sea
Dm F
I wonder, do you still think of me?
I carry your image always in my head
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
And I’ve looked upon it for so many years
Slowly I’m losing your face
Am C G D Am
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
C G D
The ocean rolls us away
Sixes and sevens we live on jet planes
So many faces I don’t know the names
So many friends now and none of them mine
Forgotten as soon as we meet
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_bravery/ocean_crd_ver_2.html ]
All of these moments are lost in time
But you’re caught in my head like a phone on a vine
To forever don’t mend me and I wonder why
Do I wish I’ve never known you at all?
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away
Am C F Am
The sun and the moon, of ocean, of air
Dm F
So many voices and nothing is there
Am C F Am
But the ghost of you asking me why.
Dm F
Why did I leave?
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away
Am C G D Am
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
C G D
The ocean rolls us away
Am C G D
And I lose your hand through the waves
