This song consist of five chords played round and round throughout

the verses and chorus, except for the bridge.

[Intro]

F Dm Am C

[Verse]

Am I asleep?

Is this a dream?

Am C

Oh my God, what have I done?

Anything?

At twenty-three,

You walked out on me.

Am C

Oh my God, where have you gone?

Anyway?

[Chorus]

On the ocean,

I think I'm taking on water.

The storm is on the way,

But I will hold on anyway.

[Verse]

Ten thousand leagues,

under the sea,

Am C

Oh my God, what have you done?

Anything?

Twenty nine years,

I've wondered around,

There's no beauty here,

No emerald town,

Am C

I shout aloud, "What will be forgotten?

Everything?"

[Chorus]

On the ocean,

I think I'm taking on water.

The storm is on the way,

But I will hold on anyway.

[Bridge]

I close my eyes and there's someone beside me.

Gm F

Hand in hand we can only speak in tongues.

She's pulling me along.

Follow'n down, a trail of crumbs behind me,

My head's in her hands,

But everything, it still feels wrong.

This isn't what I thought,

So can I just go home?

[Interlude]

F Dm Am C C7

Numma numma numma numma numma

[Verse]

Am I asleep?

Is this a dream?

Am C

Oh my God, what have I done?

Anything?

(On the ocean)

Ten thousand leagues,

(I think I'm taking on water)

Under the sea,

Am C

(The storm is on the way)

Oh my God, what have you done?

(where have you been?)

Anything?

On the ocean

[Outro]
