Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean

C
Once upon a time there was an ocean

But now it's a mountain range
G                            
Something unstoppable set into 
   C
motion
  G
Nothing is different, but 
everything's changed


[Verse 1]

G
It's a dead end job, and you gets 
tired of sitting

And it's like a nicotine habit 
you're always thinking about 
quitting

I think about quitting every day of 
the week

When I look out my window it's brown
 and it's bleak

Out of here

How am I going to get out of here?

I'm thinking out of here

When am I going to get out of here?

And when will I cash in my lottery 
ticket

And bury my past with my burdens and
 strife?

I want to shake every limb in the 
garden of Eden

And make every love the love of my 
life

I figure that

[Chorus]

C
Once upon a time there was an ocean

But now it's a mountain range
G                            
Something unstoppable set into 
   C
motion
  G
Nothing is different, but 
everything's changed

[Verse 2]

G
Found a room in the heart of the 
city, down by the bridge

Hot plate and TV and beer in the 
fridge

But I'm easy, I'm open, that's my 
gift

I can flow with the traffic, I can 
drift with the drift

Home again?

No, never going home again

Think about home again?

I never think about home

[First Bridge]

                 C
But then comes a letter from home

The handwriting is fragile and 
strange
G                            
Something unstoppable set into 
  C
motion
    G                        
And nothing is different, but 
              C
everything's changed

[Second Bridge]

    G
The light through the stained glass 
was cobalt and red

And the frayed cuffs and collars 
were mended by halos of golden 
thread
                     C
And the choir sang, "Once Upon A 
Time There Was An Ocean"
And all the old hymns and family 
           G
names came fluttering down as leaves
 of emotion


[Otro]
As nothing is different, but 
             C         G
everything's changed
