I Sat By The Ocean

[Intro]
G# A# B F# A5
G# F# E B C#
G#

[Verse 1]
G#                  A# B            F#
  I sat by the ocean    And drank a potion, baby,
A5  G#
to erase you
F# E                 B    C#
    Face down in the Boulevard
               G#
Yet I couldn't face you
G#                              A#
  There ain’t no use in crying
B           F#                  A5
 It doesn't change anything, so baby,
G#                   F# E
what good does it do?
                       B    C#
Your friends, they all sympathize
        G#
Maybe, I  don’t need them too

[Pre-Chorus]
 E                   C#sus2    G#
Imagined I'd be your one   and only
  E                   C#sus2 G#
Instead of the lonely one   

[Chorus]
    E F#       G#
You,  me and a lie
A#dim/C#   F#7/A#
Silence is closer,
        G#                   E
we’re passing ships in the night

[Verse 2]
G#                              A# B
  There’s nowhere to run away,    said
                  F#
"Boy, if you want love,
                       A5    G#                   F# E
you’ll have to go and  find  it with someone new
                    B   C#
Do you know who you really are?
            G#
Are you sure  it’s really you?"
G#                      A#
  Lies are a funny thing
B                       F#
 They slip through your fingertips
  A5         G#                   F# E
Because they never happened to you
            B  C#                G#
Time wounds all  the heals as we fade out of view

[Pre-Chorus]
 E                   C#sus2    G#
Imagined I'd be your one   and only
  E                   C#sus2 G#
Instead of the lonely one   

[Chorus]
    E F#       G#
You,  me and a lie
A#dim/C#   F#7/A#
Silence is closer,
        G#                   E
we’re passing ships in the night
     F#       G#
You, me and a lie
A#dim/C#   F#7/A#
Silence is closer,
        G#                   E
we’re passing ships in the night
G#         E
End to the night ,
G#                   E
left with nowhere to hide

[Bridge]

[Outro]
F#
G#    A#dim/C# F#7/A#        G#                    E
  Closer and closer, we’re crashing ships in the night
