Jacob Lee - Oceans
Chords in brackets ( ) are not in the actual song but spice things up a bit if you play solo acoustic.
[Verse]
Am
I learned to let go when I was younger
G
Scared of growing old
F
I would swim far into the ocean
And try to stay afloat
Am
Until my lungs would cough up water
G F
And sand would coat my bones, and I hope, now
Am
That someday I'll open up the floodgates
G
And let the lyrics flow
F
Someday I'll understand the dry taste
When the words are trapped below
Am
Some days I wonder if my airway
G F
Is clogged with all the quotes, that I wrote, now
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I feel worthless
G Am
Maybe I should open the drawer
Burn the pages
C
()
Write poems with the ash on the floor
F
Pour the ink, into the sink
G Am
And watch it drain from the shore
[Chorus]
Am
I don't want love no more
G F
Though it's the one thing I've been searching for
Dm Am
Though it's the one thing that I miss the most
G Dm F
Now I'm afraid to be alone
[Verse]
Am
I learnt to grow old when I was younger
Am
Scared of staying young
Am
Afraid of the thoughts that I had conjured
Am
That sat atop my tongue
F
Knowing I'd change the worlds opinion
Dm
If they would just, listen up
Am
But they won't, now
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I feel worthless
G Am
Maybe I should open the drawer
Burn the pages
C

Write poems with the ash on the floor
F
Pour the ink, into the sink
G Am
And watch it drain from the shore
[Chorus]
Am
I don't want love no more
G F
Though it's the one thing I've been searching for
Dm Am
Though it's the one thing that I miss the most
G Dm
Now I'm afraid to be alone
F
(I'm afraid to be alone
G
()
To be alone)
[Bridge]
Am
Looking 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
F G
I thought I was broken all this time
[Chorus]
Am
I don't want love no more
G F
Though it's the one thing I've been searching for
Am
Though it's the one thing that I miss the most
G F
Now I'm afraid to be alone
