               G C9 G        A                Em7 C9 G  
We spotted the ocean     at the head of the trail  
A            Em7 C9 G      D/F#      A  Asus4 A  
where are we going,    that's so far away?  
             G C9 G    A               Em7 D/F# G  
Now somebody told me      this is the place  
A                  G/B C9 G   D/F#             A   Asus4 A5  
Where everything's better        and everything's safe  

            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 C9 G        A                Em7 C9 G  
Half an hour later           we packed up our things  
A                     Em7 C9 G      D/F#             A  Asus4 A  
Said we'd send letters,           and all of those little things  
                          G C9 G         A               Em7 D/F# G  
And they knew we were lying,      but they smiled just the same  
A                  G/B C9 G   D/F#             A   Asus4 A5  
It seemed they'd already         forgotten we came

(verse3)  
               G C9 G        A                Em7 D/F# G  
Back at the homestead, where the air makes you choke  
    A                  G/B C9 G   D/F#             A   Asus4 A  
And people don't know you            and trust is a joke  
                G C9 G        A                Em7 D/F# G  
Don't even have pictures, just memories to hold  
          A            G/B C9 G       D/F#             A  
They grow sweeter each season      as we slowly grow old
