Lyrics

[Verse 1]
C
 I stood alone,
upon the platform in vain
Caug
    The puerto ricans they were playing me salsa in the
rain
F
 With open doors and manual locks
C
 In fast food parking lots
I headed west, I was a man on the move
Caug
    New york had lied to me,
I needed the truth
          F
Oh, I need somebody,
needed someone I could trust
C
 I don't gamble,
Am            Gsus4        F      C
  but if I did     I would bet on us
             C
Like the dead sea

[Chorus]
                           F
You told me I was like the dead sea
                               Am
You'll never sink when you are with me
         Gsus4                 F
Oh, lord,     like the dead sea
C
 Whoa, I'm like the dead sea
                          F
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can't you see,
Am                 Gsus4        F       C
  I was born to be,     be your dead sea

[Verse 2]
C
 You told me you were good at running away
Caug
    Domestic life,
                               F
it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
C
 You took the rest when you took the map
Yes,
there are times we live for somebody else
Caug
    Your father died and you decided to live
           F
It for yourself you felt,
you just felt it was time
C             Am
 And I'm glad,  cause you with cats,
Gsus4       F
     that's just not right
C             C
 Like the dead sea

[Chorus]
                           F
You told me I was like the dead sea
                               Am
You'll never sink when you are with me
         Gsus4                 F
Oh, lord,     like the dead sea
C
 Whoa, I'm like the dead sea
                          F
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can't you see,
Am                 Gsus4        F       C
  I was born to be,     be your dead sea

[Bridge]
Am                                  G
  I've been down, I've been defeated
F                                   Cmaj7/E
 You're the message, I will heed it.
Dm
  Would you stay,
                         G
Would you stay the night?

[Chorus]
C
Dead sea,
                           F
You told me I was like the dead sea
                               Am
You'll never sink when you are with me
         Gsus4                 F
Oh, lord,     like the dead sea
C
 Whoa, I'm like the dead sea
                          F
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can't you see,
Am                 Gsus4        F       C
  I was born to be,     be your dead sea
