Océan:
AmFirst I was afraid, I was Dmpetrified
Kept thinking GI could never G7live without you Cmaj7by my side
But I Fmaj7spent so many nights thinking Bm7how you did me wrong
I grew Esusstrong, EI Esuslearned how to carry Eon
and so you're Amback from outer Dmspace
I just walked Gin to find you G7here with that sad Cmaj7look upon your face
I should have Fmaj7changed my stupid lock I should have Bm7made you leave your key
If I had Esusknown for just one Esecond you'd be Esusback to bother Eme
Go on now Amgo walk out the Dmdoor
just turn Garound now G7'cause you're not Cmaj7welcome anymore
weren't you the Fmaj7one who tried to hurt me Bm7with goodbye
you think I'd Esuscrumble Eyou think I'd Esuslay down and Edie
Oh no, not AmI, I will surDmvive
as Glong as i know G7how to love I know Cmaj7I will stay alive
I've got Fmaj7all my life to live, I've got Bm7all my love to give
and I'll surEsusvive, EI will surEsusviveE  
Left Boy:
AmHer name is Ocane, I Dmmet her at the sea
GBeautiful girl, but G7not in love with Cmaj7me
Fmaj7She sang a song that would Bm7make your eyes tear
EsusI heard the first Everse and Esusforgot that I was Ehere
And I Amknow it's a cover but no Dmother does it better
Maybe GOcane had a lover but it G7doesn't really Cmaj7matter
I'm just Fmaj7glad that I met her and I'm Bm7better 'cause I did
'Cause there's Esusnothing like a Egood tune to Esusput inside your Ehead
Océan:
It took Amall the strength I had not to Dmfall apart
Kept trying Ghard to mend the G7pieces of my Cmaj7broken heart
And I spent Fmaj7oh-so many nights just feeling Bm7sorry for myself
I used to Esuscry  E- But now I Esushold my head up Ehigh and you see me
and you see Amme - Somebody Dmnew
I'm not that Gchained-up little G7person and still in Cmaj7love with you
And so you Fmaj7felt like dropping in and just exBm7pect me to be free
Well, now I'm Esussaving all my Elovin' for someEsusone who's loving Eme
Go on now Amgo walk out the Dmdoor
just turn Garound now G7'cause you're not Cmaj7welcome anymore
weren't you the Fmaj7one who tried to hurt me Bm7with goodbye
you think I'd Esuscrumble Eyou think I'd Esuslay down and Edie
Oh no, not AmI, I will surDmvive
as Glong as i know G7how to love I know Cmaj7I will stay alive
I've got Fmaj7all my life to live, I've got Bm7all my love to give
and I'll surEsusvive, EI will surEsusviveE
