   Like the Gmaj7tide at its ebbBm  
I'm at Cmaj7peace in the weD7b

Gmaj7 Bm

First the tide rushes in

Cmaj7 D

Plants a kiss on the shore

Then rolls out to sea

Am Am7 D

And the sea is very still once more

Gmaj7 Bm

So I rush to your side

Like the oncoming tide

With one burning thought

Will your arms open wide

At last we're face to face

And as we kiss through an embrace

I can tell, I can feel

You are love, you are real

Really mine

I'm at peace in the web

Of your arms
