[Verse 1]
The sBbea was large today
Just as any oDmther day
But soBbmething broke in me
Watching on this wiDmnter’s eve
[Verse 2]
Like a vBboice,
that I’d been trFying to hide
Pulled me cBblose
And out into the unFdertow
[Bridge]
I can’t Gmbeat it
Oh! The sirens sFing me home
Just can’t reGmlease it
I didn’t have the streFngth to go
[Verse 1]
BbShe’s a garden rose
and blossoms hDmead to toe
And eBbven when she leaves
her golden shDmadow stings
[Bridge]
I can’t bGmeat it
Every tFime she goes,
cuts me even dGmeeper
If only I’d the strFength to go
Like she does
[Chorus]
But sEbhe’s got time on her sBbide
And she’s fDmree to deFcide
Because sEbhe’s got time on her sBbide
To be yDmoung is diFvine
[Verse 2]
And scBbaling the dunes to sea
Where the white wall fFeeds
BbGets me no closer to peace
From the grips that she hFolds on me
[Bridge]
Oh! I can’t Gmbeat it
Every tiFme she goes
Cuts a lil dGmeeper
So the wound will neFver close
[Bridge]
If only I could bGmeat it
She wouldn’t look aFway for woe
But it finds me when I’m slGmeeping
And wakes me in a feFvered low
Like she does
[Chorus]
But shEbe’s got time on her sBbide
And she’s fDmree to deFcide
Because sEbhe’s got time on her sBbide
She’s so fDmree, it’s suFblime
[Chorus]
I just wEbonder if I’m on her mBbind
As she’s on mDmine, all the tFime
And I wEbant her to know that I’m on her sBbide
I’m on her sDmideF  
[Outro]
The sBbea was large today
Just as any oDmther dayBb

[Verse 1]

The sea was large today

Just as any other day

But something broke in me

Watching on this winter’s eve

[Verse 2]

Like a voice,

that I’d been trying to hide

Pulled me close

And out into the undertow

[Bridge]

I can’t beat it

Oh! The sirens sing me home

Just can’t release it

I didn’t have the strength to go

[Verse 1]

She’s a garden rose

and blossoms head to toe

And even when she leaves

her golden shadow stings

[Bridge]

I can’t beat it

Every time she goes,

cuts me even deeper

If only I’d the strength to go

Like she does

[Chorus]

Eb Bb

But she’s got time on her side

Dm F

And she’s free to decide

Eb Bb

Because she’s got time on her side

Dm F

To be young is divine

[Verse 2]

And scaling the dunes to sea

Where the white wall feeds

Gets me no closer to peace

From the grips that she holds on me

[Bridge]

Oh! I can’t beat it

Every time she goes

Cuts a lil deeper

So the wound will never close

[Bridge]

If only I could beat it

She wouldn’t look away for woe

But it finds me when I’m sleeping

And wakes me in a fevered low

Like she does

[Chorus]

Eb Bb

But she’s got time on her side

Dm F

And she’s free to decide

Eb Bb

Because she’s got time on her side

Dm F

She’s so free, it’s sublime

[Chorus]

Eb Bb

I just wonder if I’m on her mind

Dm F

As she’s on mine, all the time

Eb Bb

And I want her to know that I’m on her side

Dm F

I’m on her side

[Outro]

The sea was large today

Dm Bb

Just as any other day
