Verse 1-
Cadd9 G Gsus2 Em/D
And honestly, I have been begging for answers
Dsus4 Cadd9
That you and only you can give to me
G Gsus2 Em/D
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now
Dsus4 Cadd9
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe
(And I was nearly scared to death)
G Gsus2
And I was nearly scared to death
Em/D
(Why you left in paragraphs)
Dsus4
Why you left in paragraphs
Cadd9
(The words were nearly over us)
G Gsus2
The words were nearly over us
Em/D Dsus4
You stop and turn and grab your bags
Chorus 1-
G
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Cadd9
sunsets and silhouette dreams
Gsus2 Em/D
All my sand castles fall
Gsus2 G
like the ashes of cigarettes
Cadd9 Gsus2
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
Cadd9
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
Gsus2 Em/D
With a tear in His voice
Gsus2 G
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Cadd9
Does this deafening silence
Dsus4
mean nothing to no one but me?

As hours move to minutes
And minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately awaiting
But my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark
Cadd9 G Gsus2
So let me think of to word it
Em/D Dsus4
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?

If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
Em/D
I'm sure everything would find me
Dsus4
All that's left is just to sing

All my sand castles fall
Gsus2
like the ashes of cigarettes
Dsus4 Em/D Gsus2
And every waves drags me to sea
G
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
Em/D
"Is everyone here make-believe?"

With a tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."

Does this deafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me?

Alas this current moves slow for me

this much you must know... we'll meet again

that you will come for me

As I fade away, you reach out your arms
