Jacob Lee - Oceans
Chords in brackets ( ) are not in the actual song but spice things up a bit if you play solo acoustic.
[Verse]
I learned to let Amgo when I was younger
GScared of growing old
I would swim Ffar into the ocean
And try to stay afloat
Until my Amlungs would cough up water
And Gsand would coat my bones, and I hopeF, now
That someday I'll Amopen up the floodgates
And lGet the lyrics flow
Someday I'll Funderstand the dry taste
When the words are trapped below
Some days I Amwonder if my airway
Is Gclogged with all the quotes, that I wroteF, now
[Pre-Chorus]
FI feel worthless
GMaybe I should open the drawAmer
Burn the pages
(C)
Write poems with the ash on the floor
FPour the ink, into the sink
GAnd watch it drain from the shoreAm  
[Chorus]
I don't want Amlove no more
GThough it's the one thing I've been Fsearching for
DmThough it's the one thing that I Ammiss the most
GNow I'm afraid to be aloneDm  F  
[Verse]
I learnt to grow Amold when I was younger
AmScared of staying young
Afraid of the Amthoughts that I had conjured
That Amsat atop my tongue
Knowing I'd Fchange the worlds opinion
If they would Dmjust, listen up
But they won'tAm, now
[Pre-Chorus]
FI feel worthless
GMaybe I should open the drawAmer
Burn the pages
(C)
Write poems with the ash on the floor
FPour the ink, into the sink
GAnd watch it drain from the shoreAm  
[Chorus]
I don't want Amlove no more
GThough it's the one thing I've been Fsearching for
DmThough it's the one thing that I Ammiss the most
GNow I'm afraid to be aloneDm  
(I'm afraid Fto be alone
(G)
To be alone)
[Bridge]
AmLooking in the mirror like
G(Em) F  
Maybe I will find myself tonight
I ask for a better mind
Dm(F) Am  
Then tap into the sight through my third eye
I had never realized
G(Em) Dm  
I thought I had a chosen my design
I thought I was broken all this FtimeG  
[Chorus]
I don't want Amlove no more
GThough it's the one thing I've been Fsearching for
Though it's the one thing that I Ammiss the most
GNow I'm afraid to be aloneF  
[Outro]
