G         C    G   D/F#       
I want to hold you now
C               G                         
And listen to you breathe
G             C G    D/F#          
It's like the ocean sound
C                         G
Whispering through the trees
Em                     A         D/F#       
In the hollow of your shoulder
Bm        C               D/F#      
There's a tide pool of my tears
            G                  C       
Where the waves came crashing over
  D/F#             G
And the shoreline disappears
G            C  G  D/F#    
Baby close your eyes
C        D/F#      G
Fly back there with me
G           C   G      D       
Where the phosphor shines
C                              G  
Green flashlights from the sea
Em                      A           
Our nets were full of soft shells
Bm    C                         D/F#      
Our hearts were free from toil
       G                         C       
And we made love on the kitchen table
  D/F#            G
Till the water reached a boil
   C                 D/F#        G
We hold it all for a little while, don't we...
 D        C                 G
Kiss the dice, taste the rain
            D/F#   G
Like little knives upon our tongue
       C                    D/F#
We can do no wrong when the lights come on
        G     D
And the music plays
       C                      G
And we take the stage like we own the place
      D/F#                     C             G          C  G  D  C  D  G  C  G 
As if time were cheap and the night forever young
 G           C   G    D/F#     C
So let 'em turn my soul
D/F#              G
Seven shades of blue
             C     G   D/F#    C
And with the ocean's roll
Bm             G     Em
I will wave to you
                          A
And the birds will sing my laughter
        C                    D/F#
And the whales will steal my song
G              C           
But I'll be ok forever after
 D/F#        G
And the world will get along
   C                 D/F#       G
We hold it all for a little while, don't we?
         Bm    C              G           D/F#          G           C  G
Kiss the dice, taste the rain like little knives upon our tongue
       C                    D/F#                  G       D
We can do no wrong when the lights go on and the music plays
       C                      G
And we take the stage like we own the place
      D/F#                     C             G       Em  G  D  C  G  D  C  G
As if time were cheap and the night forever young
