INTRO
Em
AmEven though I know you're gone
The mDmemory lEmingers on
I see fAmootsteps on a sandy beach
That waves have been cEmrashing on
You know Dmdanger goes Fwhere emotion flows
I Emwish sometimes I'd nevCer known love
It's dDmangerous, the way I can't move oEmn
Lost in emotion
CHORUS
OnAmly an ocean cCan know
The weight of the worlEmd on her shoulders
AmThinking of you Cmy loveF  
I wish I could drCown out emotions
'Til oEmnly the ocean Amknows
AmWalking down the boulevard
The water still caEmlls your name
A tDmhousand tides may rAmise and fall
But darling I'll fEmeel the same, oh
You said daDmngerous tFo love sDmo deeply
I Cnever cared, I fell cEmompletely
It's daDmngerous, the waves crash on the shEmore
But never repeating
OnAmly an ocean cCan know
The weight of the worlEmd on her shoulders
AmThinking of you Cmy loveF  
I wish I could drCown out emotions
'Til oEmnly the ocean Amknows
Wash me away
Carry my hCeart on your notion
Love haEms forsaken, been tAmaken to somebody elFse
I wish I could dCrown my emotions 
'Til oEmnly the ocean Amknows
BRIDGE
And I still hear your soDmng (I can hear it, I can hear it)
It's in the call oAmf the ocean (wave of emotion)
It's been here so loDmng (Can't you feel it? Can't you feel it?)
OnAmly an ocean cCan know
The weight of the worlEmd on her shoulders
AmThinking of you Cmy loveF  
I wish I could drCown out emotions
'Til oEmnly the ocean Amknows
Wash me away
Carry my hCeart on your notion
Love haEms forsaken, been tAmaken to somebody elFse
