Capo 1
DI left my heart in a plastic Dsus4box
on the bedsDide table.
It wDsus4ill be locked 'til I get home.D  Dsus4  
DI've grown feeble and tired of the world,
Tired of constDsus4antly missing my girl.
And I lonDg to smell the seaDsus4  
And I long Dto smell the seaDsus4  
The seaD, the seaG  
The sea, The sea,
The sea, yeah!
I miss the PacifDic Ocean
and the northwestern air,
and to run each Gof my fingers
through the strands of her hair.
I've been all oDver this country lately,
but I've been nowhere Git seems, nowhere.
Well, I've founAd the cure
for my landlocked blues.
It's coming home tGo you.
It's coming home tGo you.D  
You, ohG  
You, ohD  
You, ohG  
You, oh!D  
If a siAmple seed gets just what it needs,
then a redwDsus4ood tree can growD  
up to a hundAred feet for the world to see,
and endure tDsus4he sleet and the snow.D  
But if my Awhole life was wrapped and priced,
I wonder what Dsus4the tag would show.D  
'Cause every time I'Am close to the holy ghost,
I always seem Dsus4to let her go.D  
I let her go, AI let her goG.D  
I let her go, I let her go.
I let her go, I let her go.
I let her go, I let her go.
Go, go.
I let her go, AI let her goG.D  
I let her go, I let her go.
Go, go.
I Dleft my heart in a plastic bDsus4ox
