Verse 1:
C And honestly, GI have been D/F#begging for Emanswers

Chorus 1:
And I'll be Ghere by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Csunsets and silhouette dreams
D/F# All my Emsand castles fall
like the D/F#ashes of Gcigarettes
And Cevery waves drags me to D/F#sea
I could sGtand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
&quoCt;Is everyone here make-believe?"

He said, &D/F#quot;Son, that'sG the question."
Does this Cdeafening silence
mean Dnothing to no one but me?

Verse 2:
C(all the way)
As hours move to minutes
And minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately awaiting
But my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark
C So let me think of to Gword itD/F#
Em Is it too soon to say 'Dperfect'?
C If I could find aGnother thirty minutes D/F#somewhere
I'm sure Emeverything would find me
All that's Dleft is just to sing
Chorus 2:
And I'll be Ghere by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's
Emsunsets and silhouette dreams
All my Csand castles fall
like the ashes of D/F#cigarettes
And Devery waves drags me to EmseaD/F#
I could sGtand here for hours
Just to ask God the question
&quoEmt;Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a Ctear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this Ddeafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me?
Bridge:
And you'll Csing to me sweet until Gthen
I may Cnever sail Virginia aGgain
Alas this Ccurrent moves sDlow for me
B/Eb Em(hold) C
this much you must know...we'll meet again
C(hold)
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death
C Tell me once again that you

And should I Gdie, you swear
that Dyou will come for Cme

As I fade away, you reach out your arms
