A5: x0225x

[verse1]
G Cadd9 G A Em7 Cadd9 G
We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
A Em7 Cadd9 G D/F# A Asus4 A
where are we going, that's so far away?
G Cadd9 G A Em7 D/F# G
Now somebody told me this is the place
A G/B Cadd9 G D/F# A Asus4 A5
Where everything's better and everything's safe


[chorus]
Em7 D/F# G D A
Walk on the ocean Step on the stones
Em7 D/F# G D A
Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone


[verse2]
G Cadd9 G A Em7 Cadd9 G
Half an hour later we packed up our things
A Em7 Cadd9 G D/F# A Asus4 A
Said we'd send letters, and all of those little things
G Cadd9 G A Em7 D/F# G
And they knew we were lying, but they smiled just the same
A G/B Cadd9 G D/F# A Asus4 A5
It seemed they'd already forgotten we came

[chorus]
same as above

[bridge]
just play the chords to the chorus
over four times

[verse3]
G Cadd9 G A Em7 D/F# G
Back at the homestead, where the air makes you choke
A G/B Cadd9 G D/F# A Asus4 A
And people don't know you and trust is a joke
G Cadd9 G A Em7 D/F# G
Don't even have pictures, just memories to hold
A G/B Cadd9 G D/F# A
They grow sweeter each season as we slowly grow old
